So far, this year has been a wild ride, especially for those planning a wedding and, ahem, maybe revising their wedding plans. Restrictions on large groups of people, state lockdowns, and the general health hazard posed by COVID-19 have caused many couples to make difficult decisions concerning their wedding. The number of weddings expected to be held in 2020 is estimated at about 15 million, which would be a 16% decline from 2019. The forecasted number of deaths related to COVID-19 is estimated at about 250,000, which would be a 29% increase over 2019. The number of cases reported by countries around the world is increasing daily, with Italy being the hardest-hit country so far. According to data from March 12, the death toll in Italy has reached 10,922 and the number of confirmed cases is 175,122. In addition, there are now more than 200,000 people infected worldwide. In the United States, some states have issued stay-at-home orders for all or part of their populations to try and curb the spread of the virus. These orders include California, Florida, Illinois, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Virginia. It's not just couples who will be deciding how to plan their weddings this year; it's also event planners who are having to make tough choices when it comes to holding virtual events.
