Following the intensifying of government restrictions in the fight against COVID-19, the Wagga-based couple faced the likelihood of postponing their nuptials indefinitely.
Otherwise, they could hold the ceremony with the regulation of five attendees.
They decided to hold their special day on Wednesday, instead of the set date of April 18.
"We were still going to hold it then, but talking with the celebrant we thought if there are more restrictions on the way, we may not be able to at all," Mr Hunter said.
"At least this way we were able to have the wedding in the same month we expected to have it."
Besides the couple, the wedding was attended by only the celebrant - Marion Way - and their two witnesses.
But many more joined them virtually, including Mr Hunter's elderly grandparents at the Forrest Centre Aged Care Home.
"They were the first to log on for it, they were so pumped to see it," Mr Hunter said.
"It was difficult, we did miss having all of our family and friends there. But it was still an awesome day with 10 or 15 people watching on Zoom. They all cheered at the end and we had a chat with them.
"Technology as it is these days, we're used to speaking to each other on FaceTime now, so we made the best of it."

The decision to bring the wedding forward was also cemented by the availability of the couple's chosen venue.
"We would have loved to have gone ahead with our planned wedding at the Big Springs Homestead, however, to have the wedding at the farm where we'd had our first date and where we got engaged was pretty special," Mr Hunter said.
"It's up for sale, so we didn't know if we'd be able to use it in the future."
Despite the unorthodox arrangement, the newly-minted Mr and Mrs Hunter are still planning to go ahead with their celebration plans, though they will have to wait some months before they can host their intended gathering.
"We'll still have the big party, but it'll be in November," Mr Hunter said.
"It was actually nice to have something intimate for the wedding. But it was such a hard decision to cut it down to just the five of us.
"A lot of people we wanted there had to miss out, but they'll all be there for the vow renewal and big celebration in November."
