Residents of Varna massively cancel their weddings due to the extraordinary situation related to Covid-19. For May and June alone, canceled marriage events are over 65%, and many couples do not specify a new date at all. Therefore, in the usual months for weddings ritual halls in Varna remain empty. According to Albena Ralcheva, a marriage organizer at the Ritual Hall in Varna, a very small percentage of couples move their weddings for next year. Speaking to BNT, she said safety requirements against Covid-19 were the main reason.
