Across various parts of the country, couples are putting their wedding plans on hold as restrictions due to COVID-19 continue. In several provinces, the number of marriage licences issued or registered in the first three weeks of April appears to be down at least more than 50 per cent from the same month last year. British Columbia — the third most populous province in the country — saw the number of marriage registrations drop by nearly 70 per cent in less than a month. The number of marriage licences issued in BC, typically obtained ahead of a marriage registration, has also dropped by 56 per cent from March to April of this year however that number does not include cancelled licences. Nova Scotia, on the other hand, keeps track of the number of "marriages performed" in addition to licences and registrations.
