On Thursday, New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio and City Council Speaker Corey Johnson announced "Project Cupid," which will allow New Yorkers to obtain marriage licenses online due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The project is a collaboration between Office of the City Clerk and the New York City Department of Information Technology and Telecommunications to bring the marriage license process to the internet.

Couples being able to tie the knot online offers a silver-lining while so many people struggle with the self-isolation and coronavirus. "Coronavirus has changed the world in so many ways but our ability to love and commit to each other hasn't wavered. Now couples ready to marry don't have to wait for the pandemic to end to say 'I do,'" Johnson said in a statement. "We deserve some good news and this is definitely wonderful news for all of New York City."
