Say NO to face masks at wedding receptions

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

To allow wedding ceremonies to go ahead without the need of facemasks/coverings as long as social distancing is in place.

To allow couples to get married without having to postpone again, relieve some of the stress couples are experiencing, to enjoy there wedding day, to see there familys faces, not masks and for the happiest day of there lives to be happy.

Why it was rejected

It was not clear what the petition asked the UK Government or Parliament to do.

The Government's current guidance on weddings and receptions states that face coverings should form part of the mitigations in a wedding's risk assessment but does not require that these be worn:

Deciding whether to require face coverings as part of any booking is therefore a matter for individual venues.
