Malaysian Couple Get Married In True Touch ‘n Go Fashion
A couple in Malaysia has gotten married despite the Covid-19 pandemic, and they did so in the cutest and most creative of ways to enforce social distancing: a drive-through ceremony.
The union was shared on Facebook by the couple’s wedding planner Dinas Bridal.

In true Touch ‘n Go fashion (or rather, Greet ‘n Go), guests drove up to the couple, greeted them through the windows of their car, then dropped their “contributions” into a box. They then moved on for the next guest to repeat the pattern.
Greeting the happy couple through car windows
From the photos posted on Facebook, we can see that the couple was stationed at a single location, while guests drove by in their cars.

Practising the responsible habit of social distancing, all forms of greeting happened through the car window, via a hand on the chest, and no direct contact.

The guests also greeted the couple from their cars by placing a hand over their chest.

Contributions go in a box within arm’s length
Guests then gave their contributions to the couple by dropping them off in a box conveniently located within an arm’s length of their car.

Life goes on despite Covid-19
We think what the couple did is an innovative and memorable way to carry out a wedding despite the challenges of Covid-19.
This couple showed perfectly that with proper planning, you can still get hitched without a hitch. Perhaps if every wedding couple in Malaysia followed suit, the country would not have to ban weddings?
All we have to do is remain socially responsible in our actions and practise good hygiene habits.

We wish the couple a happy marriage and all the best for their future.
