What the lead up of your wedding should be: excitement, nerves, final preparations
What it is for a covid bride: sleepless nights, sickness, anxiety, uncertainty, the inability to plan, tears daily and checking of news reports 24/7

I’m designing a new wedding venue. Early stages but I think I’m on to something.

Seats 10,000 guests

Please STOP saying “a few more weeks”. It doesn’t work like that. Pre-covid weddings are booked 2-3 years in advance. Dates are fully booked from 21st June, it is not a case of picking a weekend 3 weeks in advance #whataboutweddings

[What About Weddings @WAWofficialUK]

Being told ‘I wouldn’t make any plans yet’ by @RobertJenrick pretty much sums up how much this govt understand the wedding sector. Who needs to plan right? What an idiotic comment that shows a fundamental lack of knowledge, care or thought.

We’ll have waited an additional 19 months by the time we can (hopfefully) get married. Our wedding, booked pre-pandemic, is paid in full. We can’t have just 30 people, we simply can’t suffer that financial loss. So I ask you @BorisJohnson @Christian4BuryS #whataboutweddings

[Katie Day @Katie__Franklin]

Please read the image & ask for parity, fairness & a clear roadmap for weddings to bring them in line with sporting events going ahead pre-Jun21st. The lack of clarity for this sector is a disgrace #whataboutweddings @BorisJohnson @WAWofficialUK @JeffSmithetc

Weddings have been overlooked and aren’t taken seriously for what they are - one of the biggest days of someone’s life. #whataboutweddings @WAWofficialUK @edwardtimpson

The #WhatAboutWeddings campaign has been created to highlight awareness of the critical need for assistance for the £14.7bn wedding sector. Wedding suppliers, venues and couples are PARALYSED as a result of the pandemic restrictions over the past 8 months @edwardtimpson

It's not even just about weddings anymore, it's the knock on effect that the lack of clarity & support is having for couples and businesses. Our savings have been depleted, family plans no longer financially viable. There are real people behind these businesses #whataboutweddings

[Bryony @BryonyNO7]

Weddings take months, even years to plan. I have rearranged my wedding twice in a matter of days because of the change in restrictions...30 to 15 to nothing in just a couple of months! Please don’t make me rearrange for a 3rd time #whataboutweddings @BorisJohnson @RishiSunak

[Bryony @BryonyNO7]

This week one of our wedding suppliers went out of business, in her words ‘this year has finished her off’. She was a female owned independent business which was viable! Why has she & the wedding sector been forgotten? #whataboutweddings @Christian4BuryS @RishiSunak @BorisJohnson

£14.7 billion pound industry that employs nearly half a million people. They need a road map, they need support, they need you to tell them #whataboutweddings
Let them operate based on venue capacity like bars and restaurants. @BorisJohnson @RishiSunak @Keir_Starmer

[Bryony @BryonyNO7]

[Kirsty McCall @KirstyMcCall]

Why the limit on guest numbers at wedding but not pubs/restaurants? It makes no sense, it should be percentage of capacity to allow social distancing! @AlokSharma_RDG @BorisJohnson @RishiSunak @PHE_uk @LBC #whataboutweddings

[Bryony @BryonyNO7]

This!!! #whataboutweddings @Keir_Starmer @BorisJohnson @RishiSunak

[Dale Weeks Photo @daleweeksphoto]

#whataboutweddings This industry is perfectly placed to trial rapid testing with a predetermined list of guests, ensured compliance from friends and family, logistical set up and arrival times and GUARANTEED track and trace. @BorisJohnson @Keir_Starmer @RishiSunak

[The Content Quarter @ContentQuarter]

@BorisJohnson Wedding guest numbers should be dictated by size of venue and space to social distance. Not a blanket number across all venues no matter what the capacity.

[Bryony @BryonyNO7]

My wedding is more than just one day now. It is months of worry. It’s a day already paid for in full. I worry for the legally binding contracts I am in & the thousands of pounds I have invested in one day that isn’t worth 15 guests @Christian4BuryS @RishiSunak #WhatAboutWeddings

[BIRDIE CAMPER VAN @birdiecampervan]

@BorisJohnson we have worked 3 weddings out of 136 since March. My business is viable but we need help
Can we ask #WhatAboutWeddings ?@edwardtimpson @WAWofficialUK @RishiSunak @bbclaurak @SophyRidgeSky @DanielHewittITV @Keir_Starmer

[Bryony @BryonyNO7]

I’m engaged. I’ll have waited an extra 19 months by the time I (hopefully) get married next year. Can I ask #whataboutweddings ? @Christian4BuryS
