You know what fishing brings to the UK economy every year? £1.4bn. Football? £7.6bn. WEDDINGS (separate to other events)? £14.7bn. Why are we being ignored @RishiSunak @BorisJohnson ?! We are a silent army of workers and MUST bridge the gap to next season now. #whataboutweddings

[Tamryn Settle @TheCandidApple]

How can businesses plan? How can couples make decisions? How does anyone know where to go from here? The answer is simple - we need clarity. And fast. #whataboutweddings #weddinghour

I'm going to have a moan. I see so many discarded masks, plastic gloves, cigarettes, plastic cups everywhere. More than ever before I'm sure.

Stop littering! There are bins everywhere, use them.

Someone has to clear it up. It's just making someone else's day more difficult.

[Jessie Westwood @JessieSorores]

This weekend I overheard multiple people talk about how awful the govt approach to the wedding sector has been. Couples with delayed plans (even when they were willing to scale down with social distancing measures) and suppliers/venues left in the dark. #whataboutweddings

[Tamryn Settle @TheCandidApple]

So this is acceptable at a pub but a small seated meal after a wedding ceremony isn’t?! Before banning families from celebrating a milestone event in a well-managed venue, how about you crack down on this first? @BorisJohnson @scullyp @AlokSharma_RDG @GOVUK #whataboutweddings

When you’ve just postponed your “big day” and dropped an extra £2k (with more costs likely to come) on a completely new wedding plus reception within guidelines then this happens. Best pop to the pub with 50+ random strangers to commiserate then.... #whataboutweddings

The prime minister has postponed the reopening of bowling alleys, casinos, weddings of up to 30 people and indoor performances until August 15 at the earliest, following a rise of coronavirus infections https://t.co/450afEOkGD

Government pulling the plugs on wedding receptions, wedding insurance no longer covering postponed weddings. Couples are trapped in an emotional and financial corner! Give us more than 12 hours notice on how the biggest day of our lives will be run! #whataboutweddings

[Professor Karol Sikora @ProfKarolSikora]

My honest opinion of where we are:

There are outbreaks, more than we'd like, but it is possible to control them. Lots of factors are in play & testing is up.

This is not a 2nd wave, it's the 1st one slipping through in places.

If everyone is sensible, we can plug those gaps.

[Tamryn Settle @TheCandidApple]

72 hours until 'wedding receptions' can start but there's no updated guidance available from the government for couples and suppliers. How is this acceptable? @LucyMPowell @hammersmithandy #whataboutweddings

[Tamryn Settle @TheCandidApple]

Today saw a speech in Parliament that absolutely supports the wedding industry and the importance of the events that are “our life’s compass points.”

Thank you @edwardtimpson for this beautiful plea for our industry. Do read this - https://t.co/92mIRSoNnM

Wedding industry suppliers and couples... 🔈EMAIL YOUR MP. 🔈 Thank you. #whataboutweddings

[Tamryn Settle @TheCandidApple]

Thank you @LucyMPowell for speaking up on behalf of thousands of businesses, sole traders and freelancers. #whataboutweddings

[Tamryn Settle @TheCandidApple]

Weddings are culturally, socially and economically important yet we’re being left behind. #whataboutweddings

[Lucie Mann @lucille_heather]

You can tell I’m bored during furlough! 😂 fighting this as much as I can! Couples and suppliers need answers!! Being stuck in limbo is mentally exhausting @BorisJohnson @MattHancock #whataboutweddings

[Jessie Westwood @JessieSorores]

Apparently it’s #weddinghour so the PERFECT time for brides, grooms, couples, suppliers, venues and the entire event industry to get behind #whataboutweddings and email your MP or appeal to @BorisJohnson for clarity PLEASE!

[Tamryn Settle @TheCandidApple]

While MPs get ready for summer recess, the wedding industry will see it’s busiest period slip by with no income and no decisions made and thousands of couples will be left in utter limbo. This is madness. #whataboutweddings

[Ami @AmiHugs]

If we shout loud enough they might eventually hear us.... @RishiSunak @MattHancock @BorisJohnson @10DowningStreet @Michael_Ellis1 and they’re going on recess mid pandemic 🤔 #whataboutweddings

[BxBenno @CuntasaurusBex]

This was a hard read we need a roadmap! The entire #EventsIndusty is on the brink of collapse. We are a people powered industry - individuals facing catastrophic financial and mental health crisis! Thank you @LoveMyDressBlog @AlokSharma_RDG @RishiSunak #ForgottenLtd #excludeduk
