Closed End requirements for face coverings at wedding ceremonies from 21 June

Closed on

To lift the restrictions on guests wearing face coverings during wedding ceremonies. It seems ridiculous that I can sit in a pub with strangers for hours wearing no mask, yet I can't see the faces, smiles and emotions of my friends and family when I get married.

I want the Government to lift the requirement to wear face coverings so couples can see the faces of their loved ones when they get married, either in registry offices or churches, indoor or out. As an increasing proportion of the population is vaccinated, we believe the requirement to wear face coverings for ceremonies is disproportionate.

Most wedding ceremonies are approx 20mins. Couples have suffered enough emotionally, mentally and financially.
