What the petition asks
Allow wedding ceremonies at registry offices that are already scheduled to go ahead in second lockdown.
For a lot of people this will be already their second or third wedding date and they are being penalised for others flaunting the rules. If its safe for funerals to go ahead, a wedding of at least 5 people should be safe too. I get not scheduling new ceremonies but please can the ones already booked go ahead!
