A couple separated for 10 months has become the first in the world to get married over Zoom from different countries.
Scott Marmon, 32, from New York, and Augustina Montefiori,
28, from Argentina, have been together since meeting in Denver in May 2017, but
they have been apart for the past year after Augustina returned to Buenos
Aires.
In January, Scott proposed marriage to Augustina when he
went to visit her before going back to the States. He had been planning to move
to Argentina again in March before borders were shut to enforce lockdown.
The pair got married last week via video call in a 19-hour
ceremony. They were granted a marriage licence to wed online by the state of
Utah, before tying the knot 6,000 miles apart in front of a judge in Utah, and
their family and friends.
He is now able to apply for a family reunification visa -
costing £650 - and then they can then be reunited.
