Would you attend a wedding in July?

[Workyticket]

Yanbu: yes, I would
Yabu: not a chance

We're on our 3rd wedding date. Mid July - supposedly social distancing will be a thing of the past -doubt it like-

Trying to decide what to plan for. We're booked for a farm in Northumberland. Outdoor wedding under an open barn

Potentially eat outside but massive marquee booked in case the weather is shit

80 day time and 140 evening original guests

It's very laid back - nowt sorted really despite it being our 3rd date and nothing that can't be sorted or cancelled in the last couple of weeks if necessary

You sound really lovely and your wedding plans sound great, I hope that whatever happens you have a wonderful day.

We wouldn’t come if invited if it were the numbers in your original post as DH is CEV and I am still struggling after Covid last year, will be waiting until everyone who is having the vaccine has had their second doses plus a couple of weeks before doing anything like this. Wishing you all the best.

Yes I would attend

Thank you 🤩 we'd completely understand and have said to people "please don't feel like you have to"

When we know numbers June 21

We will say to guests love you to join us but totally understand if wary /don’t want to come

Hopefully we'll know tomorrow 🤞

I'm more bothered this time round than I've admitted to anyone in real life

Why tomorrow @Workyticket

Thought it was June 21 all back to normal

Tho still don’t think weddings of 100+ will be allowed

It's always been 'full re-open not before June 21st

The Wedding Taskforce have requested a specific update and there's hopefully an announcement tomorrow. People need at least 28 days to have banns read

I hope I'm wrong but the headline that Boris & Carrie are marrying in July 2022 is not filling me with massive hope this morning.

Bans being read

People can marry. Just it’s the number thing

Whatever the numbers are end of July we will get married unless gets cancelled 3rd time

They won’t suddenly announce a cap on numbers. They’ll either move to Step 4 and lift the restrictions or they won’t. But it looks very much like they will!

I just can’t see them going from 30 to unlimited

My friend wants 200 and is convinced she will get all guests

Boris and Carrie are getting married in July.

Yeah sorry in 2022

They’re pretty motivated to get back to big events of all kinds. Having announced a 4-step roadmap it’s vanishingly unlikely they’ll suddenly add in another step, with no rationale, for a specific industry. They’ve made positive noises about big weddings specifically this week. Your friend is right to be optimistic.

I hope so for her sake

I would be overjoyed to have 75

Guessing boris is next year as no venues free for them this July

You’d hope he wouldn’t be crass enough to have a big do for a third wedding, but I’m sure he’ll have no such qualms...

Boris being crass, never

It's all such a big decision on what to do isn't it. I'm lucky I'm in Scotland so we have 50 rather than 30 which I've made my peace with.

The vaccinations are a big part too. Neither me or DH have had our first vaccine and with 12 weeks to our wedding it's now unlikely we will be fully vaccinated whereas I had hoped to be before going to an event as such.

Bless you @AddisonMontgomeryShepherd

Where as both df and I have had both jabs and wedding is 10w or so

Plus most of our guests had both or will have done by July

Weird how you can have 50 and England 30

We have our fingers crossed too. Is the announcement today? I hadn't heard that.

Looks like today's announcement is cancelled. Anyone want to join my pity party?

Oh no they are saying next week now aren't they. Sorry OP, the not knowing is the worst feeling

Why do you need an announcement

Why not just do bans as if wedding is 30 or 50 in Scotland

And hopefully numbers will go higher

The thing I love most about our Prime Minister is his fantastic communication skills. So important in a world leader, really gives you confidence in him don’t worry OP, I genuinely do still think it’s going to be fine!

It's not just the banns.

Venue is 'free' we just pay for food etc. We've booked a marquee though as rhe venue is small. Marquee company want paying soon. £2.5k for a marquee we may or may not need... and all the other shit.

Do I shell out for bridesmaids dresses to be taken up when we migh not need them etc?

Surely the marquee will understand if numbers arent higher you don’t need them

Wasn’t this discussed after first cancellation

Agree it’s horrible not knowing numbers

I can’t tell our venue whether 30 sit down meal or 75 +hog roast

But they are understanding and said they will do they can fir what numbers are legally allowed
