Ease lockdown restrictions of weddings
Please consider the restrictions that's been eased, with reopening of non-essential shops, restaurants, zoo’s and cinemas. Classed as luxuries and these are being reopened to stabilise our economy. Hospitality, and small businesses all contribute to this economy too and many of these are struggling
Many couples have already faced the ordeal of having to postpone or cancel their wedding due to the COVID-19 Pandemic.
Whilst the focus is currently building on the economy again, remember, weddings fund a big part of this economy. It just has to be decided if its important and meaningful enough to be considered and agreed.
