@JessieSorores I donโt have to imagine... Weโve postponed every single one of our weddings for 15 months. None of our bookings for the 3-4 months we were allowed to open in 2020, & April/May/June 2021, wanted to go ahead with such few guests. We absolutely need parity with other industries!
@JessieSorores Oh, donโt get me wrong, they should! Iโm not trying to suggest they shouldnโt, nor that any particular business in this industry is worse off than another. Iโm just pointing out none of us are in a better position than another either. Weโre all in the same awful position.
@JessieSorores It just means we werenโt forced to close and so ineligible for grants, and still subject to licence fees etc. Itโs rubbish for everyone.
@JessieSorores Agreed. The entire industry is suffering, and Iโm grateful for all youโre doing. But being allowed to open at the end of last yearโs season, and now outside only, doesnโt mean any couples want to go ahead with 15.
I will leave this here. The events industry. Worth ยฃ84bn a year. All of it opening in May except weddings. Despite being the 3rd largest sector. Worth ยฃ5bn more than live sporting events. ยฃ8bn more than football. ๐๐คทโโ๏ธ

THREAD. While allowing wedding ceremonies alone to go ahead would be a welcome relief to some couples & return their legal human right to marriage, it will result in businesses staying closed. This must be considered. It is precisely why we need a roadmap, with dates. 1/17
