Melissa explains that the couple could only invite five guests to their ceremony due to current coronavirus restrictions in Sydney, and how neither of the newlyweds’ overseas family could make the big day.

“There was not a dry eye in sight,” the musician added as an on-screen caption.

We can bet this impromptu musical moment made the couple’s unconventional union even more special.
