Thousands of people are gathering for the Euros and at Edgebasten.

Pissed people hugging and dancing in pubs when someone scores

Boris and his pals flying in from Amber countries had a lovely garden party.

BUT weddings are super spreaders apparently and it's looking like we'll miss out on having friends and family at our OUTDOOR wedding by 3 days if pushback rumours are true.

250,000 couples are waiting for tomorrow's announcement. Could these businesses are facing closure..

Weddings are a GO!!

Weddings can happen with social distancing though. How would that actually work with most venues?

So tables of six? Spaced out? How much is that likely to restrict the numbers..
Masks to be worn except when eating/drinking, dancing not advised?

I imagine venues will be bending over backwards to create as much space as possible. They won’t want another year of postponements any more than the rest of us!

Restrictions still stand - we have a marquee plus an open barn so might be luckier than lots

Genuine thanks to all of you who were kind yesterday

I really regretted posting as I've spent the past few days feeling horribly anxious but I had a couple of really lovey inboxes which helped x

I agree. I spent 30 hours on an antenatal ward in labour in a room alone without my DH in so much (induction) so feel your frustration. My husband who lives in my household couldn’t be there for most of my labour but…

Less than 24 hours after telling couples they can't have a standing drinks reception the man himself hosts one. Lovely

Royal Ascot - standing drinks, hugging and singing allowed.

And there are threads on here berating us for moaning about wedding restrictions
