Increase the number of guests at a wedding back to 30
Rejected
12 signatures
What the petition asks
Allow for 30 guests to attend a wedding from 1st October. The rules have recently changed and it is so unfair on Brides and Grooms for this year. Funerals remain at 30, and it should be the same for a wedding.
The past 6 months have been difficult for everyone, let alone Brides and Grooms. Couples have adapted their weddings to suit 30 guests and now it has been halved which is really unfair. As long as everyone abides to the guidelines and gives 'track and trace' details - I think there should be allowed 30 guests, the same as funerals.
