Portsmouth life has changed so much since then, but loved-up couples have still found time to say their vows between and during Covid-19 restrictions.
We asked online readers of The News, Portsmouth to share with us their lockdown wedding photos – and the responses were beautiful.
Here’s the first 30 snaps from their special days, with a second gallery soon to follow.
If you’ve already sent us a photo, don’t worry, we’ll make sure you’re included.
