Petition Allow couples to get married in tier 4 with only two witnesses.

At the moment in tier 4 you’re not allowed to get married unless in exceptional circumstances. To legally get married you need only to have 2 witnesses and a registrar and this is easy to achieve with masks and social distancing so this should be allowed for couples to be able to begin their lives.

More details

I don’t think it is fair that couples who just want to get married should have to keep putting this on hold when you only need to have two witnesses and a registrar to legally get married in the UK. This is easily achievable with social distancing and masks so I don’t think it is necessary to put a ban on all wedding ceremonies when this wouldn’t constitute a gathering.
