The Bachelorette’s Georgia Love and Lee Elliott move their wedding to Tasmania

The Bachelorette’s Georgia Love and Lee Elliott move their wedding from Italy to her home state of Tasmania due to the coronavirus pandemic

They were planning their romantic nuptials in Italy.

But the coronavirus pandemic forced Bachelorette couple Georgia Love and Lee Elliott to scrap their destination wedding.

Instead, they hope to say ‘I do’ in Georgia’s home state of Tasmania, but they are having trouble organising the big day due to the lockdown in Melbourne, where they both live.

‘We’re just planning as if everything will be okay by next year, but we still don’t know whether it will be,’ Georgia told Now To Love

‘It’s also hard to do a lot of it when we can’t even get down to Tassie.’ 

The journalist and her fiancé are unable to leave Victoria due to the lockdown, which was put in place last week after a second wave of COVID-19 infections hit the state.

As the situation changes from day to day, Georgia acknowledged that her wedding plans may have to adjust once again.  

‘We still don’t know if we actually will be able to go ahead with what we’re planning,’ she said.

Despite the challenges of lockdown, Georgia has enjoyed having ‘so much time at home’ to plan her special day. 

‘That’s how Lee and I are looking at it, we feel grateful to have this dedicated time to plan and get excited,’ she said.

It comes after Georgia recently addressed pregnancy rumours.

She told her Instagram followers it was rude for them to continually ask her whether she and Lee were expecting, after they had already denied the speculation.

‘Just another reminder because apparently, I have to constantly repeat myself on this – the only time it is ever okay to ask me whether I am, or comment that I look pregnant, is when I have said I am pregnant. Which again, I am not,’ she wrote.

Georgia has long faced pregnancy rumours. Back in 2017, she responded to the false gossip by claiming she had just had a ‘big breakfast’.
