Despite the alarming cases of coronavirus and deaths from the disease in Italy, a couple still went ahead to get married.

The newly married couple, Diego Fernandes, 46 and Deni Salgado, 30, held their wedding ceremony on Friday with only a few witnesses since public gatherings have been banned as part of the measures to halt the spread of the coronavirus disease.

In one of the photos, Deigo and Deni were pictured sharing a kiss through protective masks as they celebrated their special day in Naples.
