Allow weddings of up to 5 people during 2nd Lockdown

What the petition asks
A lot of people have rescheduled their wedding for late this year without expecting a second lockdown and it has been devistating to find out that we can't get married. I think wedding should be able to go ahead, even if it just consists of the couple, and 2 witnesses.
Weddings are an important part of life and I believe that people who have arranged and rearranged weddings, and eypople who want to get married now, should be able to do so. It is a necessity.
