Allow Face masks to be taken off in a wedding ceremony once guests are seated.

Rejected 10 signatures

What the petition asks

Change the current restrictions so that when wedding guests are seated in a ceremony they can take their masks off. Social distancing can still be followed along with household bubbles.

The current rules for weddings allow guests to enjoy a wedding breakfast seated with no masks however they cannot watch the wedding ceremony with no masks. If these guests were to sit in the ceremony with the same people as they would be for the meal I do not see why they cannot sit in the ceremony without a mask. They can be worn for entering and exiting but should be allowed to be removed once seated in the same way that they would be for a meal or a restaurant environment.
