The Wedding Is Postponed. Again.

Last year, when Italy became the epicenter of the coronavirus outbreak in Europe, Aurito Chatterjee and Sonia Angral, an Indian couple living in Singapore, postponed their wedding in Tuscany to July this year. But in January, Singapore announced new travel restrictions through the end of the year that could prevent the couple from returning if they go to Europe to get married.

“If you are an expat on a work visa you are free to leave, but if you want to come back your employee has to put in a petition with immigration services and that is a headache. My friend was denied seven times.” Mr. Chatterjee said. “So basically, we could be faced with a situation where our guests can travel to our wedding, but we can’t,” he said.

So far, their chosen venue, Castello Di Vicarello in the Maremma countryside, has been accommodating of their circumstances, however, postponing last year was contingent on a 20 percent price hike.
