Do you think an early July wedding will happen?

[Fauchelevant]

I think it’s unlikely but I haven’t heard anything. It’s DH’s cousin who I don’t know well and he’s rubbish at details or finding things out. As far as I know medium size like 60-80 guests planned.

Not a chance

I’d very much doubt it sadly. Weddings are likely to be limited to low numbers for sometime I imagine.

Nope

Nope

My brothers August wedding has been cancelled. I would say with absolute certainty that a July one won't be going ahead.

Nope I would say not a chance.

No, sorry.

I’d say not a chance too. Maybe a minimal service with socially distanced witnesses and no one else in July - at the very most. But there’s no way anyone’s getting a proper wedding and reception.

There’s been nothing more about weddings from the government since they said they were looking at it. It’s not going to go from zero to dancing in a month.

If either bride or groom is in extremis, a bedside wedding is already permitted

I think there’s a fair chance that by July then weddings of about 5-10 people total (5 is minimum legally required people, 10 current permitted funeral size). But that does depend on correct notice/licence and adequate provision for just objections.

A post wedding party would fall under the normal size of gathering rules, and I don’t see them getting much bigger for quite some time

But that does depend on correct notice/licence and adequate provision for just objections.

It is possible there might be temporary alterations to that to accommodate Covid weddings, particularly for those who did give notice and had to have their non-registry office weddings postponed and who want to marry before big parties are allowed. It’s possible that they might be allowed to have a minimal ceremony in the registry office/in its grounds without having to give notice again.

But who knows?

You can register births again now. So presumably they’ll properly consider weddings when they’ve caught up with that enormous backlog.

My friends wedding was booked for mid July. Hotel cancelled it and moved the date to December.

Definitely not.

It will be possible to get married.

The party will not be possible though.

No

No

Thanks everyone. Pretty much confirmed what I was thinking.

My vicar has heard rumours they’re looking to OK wedding ceremonies with 20 people ‘soon’ and we’re planning ours on her advice for early July. No party and she can’t touch the rings, only one household to a pew and the vicar/photog are part of the 20. Have heard nothing since Saturday tho

Nope. I postponed my mid July wedding as soon as we hit lockdown!

Definitely not with that number of guests.

I think the wedding ceremony may be able to go ahead but with limited guests and reception unlikely
