Whilst I totally applaud the NHS for everything they do (not just in the pandemic), just over 24 hours ago, you told 50,000 couples they can’t have stand up drink receptions at their weddings.... @BorisJohnson ??#whataboutweddings
On the day we reached the milestone of 30 million second doses given across the UK, the Prime Minister hosted NHS staff in the gardens of Downing Street to thank them for their extraordinary work in the vaccination rollout and in responding to the pandemic.
@BorisJohnson have you ever been to a wedding where the guests behave like this? Nope me neither, but weddings above 30 arent allowed. Its not just 4 more weeks for the couples and businesses waiting #whataboutweddings

Please Boris, I have worked as an ITU Nurse throughout this pandemic, I have been to hell and back with my colleagues, my mental health is in ruins! I need this day of happiness! We have waited so long!
Was asked to talk on Radio 5 Live this evening about the impending decision tomorrow regarding weddings... I mentioned all the amazing work @UKweddingsOrg have been doing.... all fingers crossed for tmw

Turning to Twitter for emotional support from all the ‘brides to be’ in the same position. Unbelievable positions to be in. Just not good enough #whataboutweddings@BorisJohnson@MattHancock
Literally everyone I’ve spoken to this weekend thinks it’s mad that weddings aren’t going ahead unrestricted. They see 25k at the football, they see parks and pubs full, they can hug their friends and family. It is ridiculous and everybody knows it. #whataboutweddings
@BorisJohnson as I can’t think about anything else, I have another question.. how can weddings be super spreader events when there haven’t been any above 30 people?! #whataboutweddings
Leaks, fear and paranoia: it is cruel. The emotional, 72 hour roller-coaster for a decimated #weddings sector and anxious, distraught couples:
✅ Thursday @TheTimes exclusive:
Government source reveals: “Unlimited numbers to be allowed at weddings” ..1/3
Look! Canapés too down at the #G7Summit2021 bbq ⁉️If tomorrow it’s announced #wedding businesses will remain heavily penalised by harsh restrictions, the disparity is a PR disaster. Let the #weddings sector survive to ensure safe navigation of life events in a Covid-world #parity
A few examples over recent days of the disparity between lifting of restrictions for some activities and the decimated #weddings sector. It's vital tomorrow we're told businesses + jobs will be saved by us trading viably again from 21/6, and that anxious couples can move forward
@BorisJohnson I’ve never used Twitter before this week and I’ve realised what a powerful platform it can be... therefore I’m asking you again on behalf of myself and 100,000s of others who are depending on the lawful reopening of weddings to do the right thing #whataboutweddings
