Allow small outdoor weddings of up to 20 people.
We want the Government to allow small outdoor weddings of up to 20 people (most of whom would be close family members who are from within just a few households).
For lots of people, their wedding isn't just a big party. It is a legal and life-changing bond that allows them to live together and begin a new life as husband and wife. It is frustrating that the Government have readily allowed people to now go shopping in crowded shopping centres for non-essential things like hair bobbles and socks, yet the truly life-changing event which they have looked forward to for years and will be looked back on as 'the best day of their lives' is strictly forbidden.
