2020 has been an odd year for everyone, including celebrity couples. Dozens of them changed their wedding plans because of COVID-19.
These ten celebrities, however, either beat the clock or pushed through the adversity, all in an effort to prove that not even a deadly virus can stop their love from lasting forever.

Mr. and Mrs. G officially tied the knot last February 20 in the presence of family and friends.

Long-time couple Mica Javier and RnB singer JayR officially tied the knot on March 1 at what is probably the top beach wedding destination in the country: Boracay. Yes, the amazing Boracay sunset was included in the musically-inclined couple’s wedding. We’re officially jealous.
KZ Tandingan and TJ Monterde
This wedding took people by surprise as they were officially hitched on August 28 in a very low-key wedding in Batangas, but people only knew about it in October. For us, that’s a way-to-go-KZ if we’ve ever seen one.

“Nothing fancy. Just love.” It’s a very apt description of how Barley Queen and breast cancer survivor Maritoni Fernandez tied the knot with her long-time partner Mon Dayrit. Their simple civil ceremony happened last July 7, with only their kids Liam Sarmiento, Julian, and Diego Dayrit in attendance.
