What the petition asks
All the thousands that have had to.cancel well I think no more! Marriage its not just an excuse for a big party! For some people it's religion or on a bucket list for terminally ill people
So in the last week their have been protests in London people on beachs and shops opening. But yet they still will not start weddings back up! These should have been one of the first things to open again instead of bookies and other unnecessary shops!
All the thousands that have had to.cancel well I think no more! Marriage its not just an excuse for a big party! For some people it's religion or on a bucket list for terminally ill people!
Please help get the signatures we need to help everyone get on with their lives
If they can allow protests with thousands they can allow weddings!
