A Melbourne couple have come up with a clever solution after they were forced to cancel their wedding this weekend because of Covid-19 — for the second time.
Maree Piacente and Kevin Magrin called off their wedding in May last year because of Covid-19. They postponed it until this weekend, but Victoria's circuit-breaker lockdown meant their nuptials were derailed once again.
Despite successfully postponing some aspects of the wedding, the flowers were non-negotiable as the florist had already made the purchase, so the couple decided to make the most of the situation.
The pair bought the flowers – which included peonies, roses, carnations and snapdragons – at cost price and packed them into their car. The couple then set up shop at the side of the road and decided to sell the wedding flowers from the boot of their car to passing drivers before Victoria's fresh restrictions came into effect.
"We wanted to give the flowers a second chance at life somewhere else," Piacente told 7News.
