A couple who couldn't wait to get married forged ahead with their nuptials despite a 5,000-mile distance between them.
Andrew Bateman, from the Merseyside town of Maghull, and Mitzi Guzman, from Mexico City, were forced apart by the pandemic and have had to scrap their wedding plans twice.
They'd initially planned to wed in Mexico, before Covid threw a spanner in the works.
But they weren't going to let the distance of the Atlantic stop them tying the knot - and decided to get hitched over Zoom.
They appeared on today's Good Morning Britain, explaining to Kate Garraway and Ben Shepherd: "Well, we were meant to get married on July 31 last year.
"That got moved with everything that was going on to February 6 this year. We haven't seen each other since last July....it's that difficult for us to see each other."
Andrew told that as fiancés, travel restrictions meant they couldn't see each other, but as a married couple the rules are slightly different.
"We got the option to move our wedding to November this year but we may not be able to see each other before then," he continued.
"So, we got married last Friday on January 15 and now we can start rolling with the visa application so Mitzi can come here.
"It's just been that difficult to travel, even though we are together, we were only fiancés so they don't really allow it, but you are allowed to travel to see your husband and wife, the rules are a bit easier so now we should be able at least when the lockdown lifts see each other."
Mitzi chimed in: "I'm happier now even if the wedding was on Zoom it was perfect and the only thing we want is to stay together."
Today also saw Kate and Ben grilling MP George Eustice over "too little too late" border controls.
