The 27-year-old, who married new wife Becy in Albert in regional NSW on June 5, told Daily Mail Australia that the situation has ‘put a dampener’ on the day.

The infected couple reportedly left Melbourne on June 1 and arrived in Queensland last week, where they received a positive test result. The couple made headlines for their road trip.

They visited venues in Forbes and Dubbo, where a lot of Jason and Becy’s guests were staying for their big day.

Jason is particularly enraged as they previously postponed their wedding in November last year due to coronavirus restrictions and to keep everyone safe.

‘I’m furious that people can be so disrespectful when it comes to ignoring government guidelines as people’s health and lives are at stake. It’s just appalling stupidity,’ Jason told Daily Mail Australia this week.

Jason said people in the central west of NSW are ‘nervous’ about travellers coming into their local towns because of the covid risks and the mouse plague.

He added: ‘It also puts the 120 guests who attended our wedding on high alert thanks to the selfishness of this couple.’

‘We already had to postpone our wedding once back in November due to COVID measures, so it’s distressing to see this issue arising once more and putting a dampener on what was supposed to be a happy occasion.’
