Bride-to-be tries to catch Covid at club so it doesn’t spoil her wedding

An Aussie bride-to-be has attracted attention online after posting her attempt to catch Covid to avoid ruining her wedding day.

An Australian bride-to-be tried to stop Covid from ruining her wedding day - by catching the virus on purpose.

A video detailing the bride’s efforts boasts more than 100,000 views on TikTok.

“POV your wedding is in six weeks and you still haven’t had Covid,” reads the caption to the clip, which was posted Sunday.

The 15-second video, titled “Catch Covid not feelings,” shows the soon-to-be-hitched woman embracing multiple men and women — and even swapping drinks — at a Melbourne nightclub in an attempt to contract the virus, which she seems to believe will prevent it from crashing the occasion.

The video was posted right before Victoria announced that starting January 12, it would be closing all indoor dance floors to everyone, except wedding parties, to stem the Omicron uptick.

Many TikTok commenters praised the future wife’s unorthodox immunisation strategy split.

An Australian bride-to-be has devised an unconventional way to prevent COVID-19 from ruining her big day — by purposefully attempting to catch it.

“Yasss!! Feb 5th bride and I feel this on so many levels,” said one wedding hopeful, while another wrote, “I feel you sis.”

However, others found the so-called preventive measure a bit harebrained.

“Sucks to be a healthcare worker watching this,” lamented one detractor.

Even Love Island Season 3 contestant Ryan Reid chimed in, writing: “I was so confused.”

The video has since been deleted and the original poster’s account has been set to private.

Another wondered about the efficacy of the bride’s pre-emptive infection policy given that people can catch Covid more than once. In fact, recent studies show that reinfection is over five times more likely with the new Omicron variant than the Delta strain.

Indeed, infectious disease experts have warned the public to refrain from deliberately trying to contract the disease.

“People trying to get this virus when it’s still possible to ride through this wave without being infected isn’t wise,” epidemiologist Dr. Catherine Bennett told Daily Mail Australia last week. “We’re hearing lots of people say ‘it might be mild’ but it’s actually really terrible, so if you can avoid it, do.”
