Boris’ announcement!

Hi Kirsten,


We are July 17th so a day after you. Like you, I’m still being cautious but continuing to plan as normal. Ultimately we will know a week before the 21st June anyway. I always anticipated it would be a last minute scramble, but trying to keep positive that we can have the wedding we hoped for. I hope this helps somewhat xx

I'm 4th September and I don't know whether I'm being too optimistic about having original numbers, however I think I will plan for that for now and just see what happens closer to rather than scrambling round last minute for an extra 100 guests.

Fingers crossed that all goes in our favour!

We're 18th September and feel the same as you Hbur08. I feel like it's given enough confidence to start at least trying to plan the original wedding with full numbers, although I'll probably still keep the 30 person back up plan on standby!

It's a lot more optimistic news than I was expecting and good to know they're at least trying to work towards lifting the restrictions on numbers this year, although if the last year has taught me anything it's that nothing is certain and anything could happen!

18th september too for us, feeling very positive now, still with caution but looking promising!

I'm the 18th September too. The announvement did feel a little too positive to be able to jump from 30 to however many you like. I got rid of my MH a few weeks back and just planned to keep my young cousin so 30 would work for us.

Hi, its tight for me, im the 3rd July!!! but going for it, staying positive as always.

We are 19th June deciding to go ahead with 30 but even that is not yet guaranteed with numbers as each step will be reviewed, I thought about delaying a week to have "unlimited" but you can't go from 30 to 100 in the space of 2 days it's not logical. Even guidance on reception has not been given, are you allowed music or not it's a poor show again for wedding guidance.

We’re the 24th July and going ahead with full numbers (128 but happy to cut the kids out to make it 100).


I’m banking on the current rate of vaccinations as they seem to be focussing on that and just hoping for the best.

We're the 10th July! We're staying optimistic that we can go ahead with the wedding we want and with the full guest list (but we have our back-up smaller guest list just in case)

View quoted message We are 5 June and have decided to go ahead too - we can't push back by a few weeks as there isn't availability that works for us and next year isn't an option - we just want to be married! Also - I agree - it is risky and it seems incredible that you go from 30 to unlimited. I am also astounded that concerts, indoor stadiums will open with 50% capacity or at least 1,000 but weddings don't get to abide by the same criteria! It is frustrating that there is still no more detailed guidance. I really feel for everyone pre 21 June - it's horrible. But also hoping everyone post 21 June gets the day they want!x

We are 14th August and hoping for the best!! The only issue with us is that we are in Wales and the Welsh Government seem to be refusing to give any long-term goals, so unsure what to do? I'm hoping with the vaccinations ramping up, cases will come down and we should get back to some sort of normality in line with England. Although Mark Drakeford seems to like to bash England's plans and do SOMETHING different, just to be awkward!

We are 10th July and taking the gamble. We postponed twice from last year and just thought come what may we will do it as we hate the anxiety of everything. Our venue said to plan exactly as normal but have a back up plan in case which is what we are doing. Just trying to stay positive and hope for the best.

Mine is 3rd July too!! Wishing us both the best of luck!!

Our wedding is booked for 7th August and this is our fourth date as originally due to get married April 2020. This is the first time I’ve felt confident that we will actually have the wedding. Even if just 30 people.

Our wedding is on 9th July so it will be cutting it fine! Trying to stay positive and hopeful that we will be able to have the day we planned for without having to cut our guestlist down.

We are July 24th. I really don't know whether to plan for 30 or for 50. Meeting our vicar soon so will ask what he thinks.

View quoted message I feel you! We are June 14th in Wales. We have a consultation with the venue next weekend, where they will probably give an idea of what they think may happen, government pending.
I have a feeling we will be able to go ahead with limited numbers in the summer - I have between 30 and 50 in mind (of course 50 would be ideal!). Hopefully we get some guidance soon so we can let people know!
Also I know it's vain but I really hope salons can open safely soon so I can get my colours looking decent in enough time before the wedding!

I’m now on my 4th date for the 25 august and for the first time I feel confident x
