Couple get married on the Tube amid coronavirus outbreak

A couple found a creative way of tying the knot by holding their wedding ceremony on a Tube in front of a carriage full of strangers.

Footage shared on social media shows the couple walking down the "aisle" of the moving train before reading their vows.

The bride, wearing a veil, and the groom, donning a face visor with a black suit, walked arm in arm down the Tube carriage, while a musician played the violin.

The carriage was decorated with flowers, and confetti was strewn across the floor, as passengers filmed the surprise ceremony.

Passengers can be heard cheering as the couple walked down the train towards the marriage officiant.

After they were pronounced man and wife, the carriage erupted into an applause.

But before the couple kissed, the husband popped a visor on his wife's face after she removed her veil, ensuring she continued to abide by the face mask rules on public transport.

The number of people who can attend a wedding amid the coronavirus outbreak has been limited to 15.

But these newly weds managed to have a few more guests by hosting their ceremony on a packed train.

It's not clear how many commuters were treated to the surprise event, and how many had been personally invited to the unique ceremony.
