I just hate how we’re made to look really trivial by the media if we do want bigger weddings? Yes, I could get married in the registry office (and full love and support to people who choose to do that) and I KNOW marrying my best friend is the biggest most important but...but funnily enough I have been thinking about this day since I was a little girl, we booked it in 2017 and I’d quite like to have a party and celebrate
The comments on the daily fail article about a couple set to lose a large amount of money if they have to cancel their wedding are disgusting. It’s their money and if they want to spend a large chunk of that on their dream day what gives other: the right to judge???. We’ve all had a crap year and we should be embracing positive happy life events like weddings!! The worse are comments from the older generation “we didn’t need to spend that much in our day”. Well the cost of living was a lot lower then, they are clueless as to how much venues and suppliers cost these days!I just hate how we’re made to look really trivial by the media if we do want bigger weddings?

People don’t seem to grasp that lots of people have put down lots of money with suppliers which would be lost in the event of postponing/cancelling/downsizing.. very easy for some to tell couples that they should skip merrily to the registry office when they’ve already had the wedding of their dreams.I just hate how we’re made to look really trivial by the media if we do want bigger weddings?

I know! Like we are vain and superficial. You feel like you can’t say anything because people will just snap and say there are bigger issues in the world. I understand that my wedding doesn’t mean a lot to most people but we’ve all spent so much money and took ages planning it just to have a nice day with friends and family.I just hate how we’re made to look really trivial by the media if we do want bigger weddings?

Me! I'm July, my issue is I'm in Scotland and Nicola has been pretty cautious throughout. Also although our numbers are "technically" 100 in level in one, in reality it's a lot less due to the 2m distance between tables and only allowing 3 families per table. I have a lot of friends who are just in two person households. I had a lot of "extended bubbles" happening. I'm raging though as my venue thought I could fit in 80 but actually it's 64, so essentially disinviting two whole tables. We won't even find out until 21 June if Scotland is going to go down a level and considering Glasgow/surrounding areas is 3 weeks behind the rest of the country I'm scared they'll keep it in level 2 which is 50 guests and only 2 families per table (I think).Is anyone else still in the boat of waiting to see what their wedding is going to be like in June /July? I know it’s probably going to be 30 guests but wish they would just tell us now
I feel your pain
so stressful! I hope it all works out for you 
We are actually going to Scotland on our honeymoon, I hope she lets us in 
i feel exactly the same! Everyone messaging me about the good news! I’m now essentially paying the full wedding price for a very expensive meal and no party after! Would have been better having a smaller wedding and getting some money backFeel so fed up everyone thinks it’s amazing news and has text me saying we should be so happy that restrictions are lifted on numbers. However they seem to have put more obstacles in place, 6 to a table, masks at all times, table service only, no dancing the list goes on. I can’t help but feeling disappointed when we are paying for the full wedding as well.
12 days away and still no idea what the wedding will look like. Our venue is waiting for the official guidance which should hopefully come tomorrow but doesn’t give us much time to plan
Hope everyone is okay
A hundred percenti feel exactly the same! Everyone messaging me about the good news! I’m now essentially paying the full wedding price for a very expensive meal and no party after! Would have been better having a smaller wedding and getting some money back
can’t even change it now as it’s too late we’ve paid upI’m sure it will be lovely on the day and we will be happy with our weddings! I know how disheartened you must feel. I’m going to try and wake up tomorrow and be more positive about it. Tonight I am having a little pity partyA hundred percent
I am tooI’m sure it will be lovely on the day and we will be happy with our weddings! I know how disheartened you must feel. I’m going to try and wake up tomorrow and be more positive about it. Tonight I am having a little pity party
plenty of wine. I think once again it’s the unknown we still don’t know until the venue get the guidance and decide and it’s not long away. Hopefully tomorrow we get answers and can plan (again)Why can’t you have a party after?i feel exactly the same! Everyone messaging me about the good news!

You can have a reception but everybody must stay seated and have table service .. and no getting up and dancing or mixing tables ..
you have to stay seated and not allowed to dance.
Yea I know as that’s what we had but you can still get creative and there’s plenty of activities and games you can doYou can have a reception but everybody must stay seated and have table service .. and no getting up and dancing or mixing tables ..
