Allow small Wedding Ceremonies in England Tier 4

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

Allow small Wedding ceremonies to go ahead even in lockdown like shown in Scotland and Wales.
Couples are having to cancel or postpone so many times its heartbreaking.
A simple, small and socially distanced ceremony should easily be achievable.

Why it was rejected

The UK Government or Parliament was already taking the action it asked for.

Under the national restrictions that come into force today weddings can take place in all areas, but only with up to 6 people: https://www.gov.uk/guidance/national-lockdown-stay-at-home#weddings-civil-partnerships-religious-services-and-funerals
