People complaining about ‘not’ being able to have a wedding

[JackieWeaverHandforthCouncil]

Am I the only person who’s getting a bit annoyed with all the people whining about ‘not’ being able to have a wedding?

They can get married and the limits of max 30 will go but guests have to socially distance, there will be limits on singing and you can’t have international guests.

Yes you can’t have 100 people hugging but people have always been allowed to get married throughout the pandemic.

There was a woman complaining on the press conference that she’s being prevented from moving on with her life? Another was saying not being able to get married is giving her mental health issues. How? She can still get married, it may not be the Insta wedding she expected but the legal bit can still happen. Have the party bit later.

I feel a lot more sorrow for people trying to organise funerals who can’t have all the guests they want.

me - complaining again!

Our massive venue are using the older guidance on distancing whixh means no evening guests - 3 weeks to go and I've given in and had a little cry.

We have booked our wedding for December - Day guest list of 20 so it's all good. Can't wait!

Venues are getting this wrong @Workyticket @Justlyra however, it is up to them to risk assess and I guess they can make their own decisions however tables do not need to be socially distanced OR tables of 6.

From the official guidance...

At Step 3, there is no requirement for guests to be placed on socially distanced tables, though they should consider the risks of not doing so, as set out in new guidance on meeting friends and family.

At Step 3, there is no requirement for guests to be placed on socially distanced tables, or on tables of 6, including in a COVID-secure venue.

We were very lucky date wise but it was touch and go until literally a few days before the wedding. Had it not been able to go ahead legally then we would have just moved the whole original plan to a different date. I think the original post was about people being annoyed about the restrictions to weddings and not about when they were or weren't allowed.

My point was that if people want to get married now they can do but its limited. If they want a large wedding without restrictions then they should move the date not moan about it being a small wedding. But it is just my opinion.
