The Housing Ministry announced Wednesday that weddings on the US$200 million bridge between the capital and the airport island will take place August 31.
Lovebirds wanting to tie the knot on the China-Maldives Friendship bridge, officially named Sinamalé Bridge, must submit forms before Monday.
It is not clear how many forms have been submitted, but the ministry previously said more than 250 forms were taken on the day applications were opened.
Bridge weddings were due to take place from September 1 to 5, but a new announcement says they will be on August 31 from 4pm to 6pm.
