AdvertisementA group of angry brides wearing wedding dressed staged a furious protest in Rome as they rallied against the postponement of their marriages because of coronavirus lockdown. Around 15 women posed in front of the Trevi fountain as they held white parasols and wore matching white face masks. The event, organised by an Italian wedding association, was dubbed the 'flashmob of the singles or unmarried ones'. Women held signs that translated as 'weddings without restrictions', 'you broke our marriages' and 'church doors closed to weddings' before marching through the city in white stilettos. Officials at Rome's City Hall made an exception, however, for anyone who booked a civil wedding ceremony - not held in a Church - before lockdown began.
