Dear Kimella,
How I understand, I would have felt so desperate in your situation. having gone into so much effort to organise these wedding and honeymoon for it to be cancelled or postponed must be so disappointing. It is certainly different but different people from my family in France had planned trips in Spain and in Thailand which of course have been cancelled and they too are very depressed thinking that they could have been out in the sun instead of being confined at home.
In France, they do "apero skype" 🙂 Which means having pre-dinner drinks with your friends through skype! I think that it is an excellent idea and have actually offered my friends in Australia to do it tomorrow night! I know it is not physical contact and it will not replace it but it is some sort of social activity 🙂
I cannot give you any advice regarding chocolate and unhealthy food, honestly we all do that when we are stuck at home. I have never eaten so much chocolate myself!
Could you do something on what should have been your wedding day? Could you have a photo shoot at home? a nice dinner, some pampering? just something to make this day special! 🙂
All the best
