A LOVING couple got hitched just in time,marrying at the champagne bar atSt Pancras International station before a ban on weddings came in.

Social gatherings have all been stopped by the government’s order to stay indoors.

With that likelihood on the cards on, Matt Zinser and his bride-to-be Claire set up their wedding in 24 hours and they were married at Searcy’s last Friday afternoon (March 20) with just a couple of close friends and station staff as witnesses.

They had been due to marry next month but the spread of coronavirus has seen hundreds of planned weddings across the country postponed.

The new Mrs Zinser said: “Neither of us was fussed about having a large wedding. It was just important to us that we got married. We’ll have a blessing and a shindig after all this has blown over.

“It was a slightly strange experience as the tube, train and station were all so quiet, but there was a real sense of happiness and goodwill from everyone we met.”

She added:“We chose St Pancras because it is where the Euro star starts and terminates, and we thought it symbolised our British-French union.”
