Our wedding was scheduled for the Saturday before lockdown last March. Out of our group of 35, my witness and I were both on the shielding list, we had 2 over 70's and 2 pregnant guests. Everyone was panic-buying and had been told by the government not to socialise. So we postponed it, losing about £1.5k with various suppliers.
We claimed the £1.5k on our wedding insurance but they won't pay out because it was before lockdown started. I'm gutted. We did the right thing, following the government guidelines and putting our guests' and suppliers' safety first, and we're being penalised for it.
