Marriages can be conducted on Zoom in New York
State governor Andrew Cuomo has issued an executive order for couples to marry via the app in the state, which has been hit hard by coronavirus.
Melissa DeRosa - secretary to the governor - announced the order at a conference, saying: ''Video marriage ceremonies.
''There's now no excuse when the question comes up for marriage. No excuse. You can do it by Zoom.''
The digital nuptials do have to follow certain rules, as participants must actually attend the ceremony with no pre-recorded video allowed.
Daniel Wolfe attended the wedding of two friends in California over Zoom and admitted it was an emotional experience.
He explained: ''We were crying, my wife and I holding each other, hand and arm, while we peered into this strange portal to something somewhat like reality and very much our current reality.
''We cried that stuttered disbelief kind of cry, where you're happy for your friends who have one another. It felt like a wedding.''
