Back in December I asked @BorisJohnson about weddings, he told me weddings would be back to normal by Summer, but yet we’ve heard nothing since! We face loosing a 2nd year due to lack of clarity from the Government! You must support the sector @scullyp #whataboutweddings

Oh yes @BorisJohnson, you must remember this little chat. For weddings to be back to normal by summer, we need to know on 22nd Feb how you plan to get us there. #whataboutweddings

Context - I have been learning my trade now for a number of years, this is not a hobby, it’s what I love doing and I earn money there for helping the economy. We are a viable sector and need support and clarity out of this. @AWMurrison @BorisJohnson @scullyp #whataboutweddings

I have spent the last 10 years honing my craft, documenting 350+ weddings & delivering thousands of happy memories in photo form. I have done everything "the right way" yet I have never felt less valued as a member of society. 400,000 wedding businesses matter!

I'm a wedding celebrant who was unable to work 99% of last year & am currently unable to give my couples a proper idea of how weddings will work in 2021. We need support, & acknowledgement that we're an industry that brings both meaning and money. @scullyp #whataboutweddings

#whataboutweddings We need a #roadmap to a *profitable* reopening of our beloved industry! For us and our couples who want to plan the day of their dreams! We need to you to support the small businesses that make these special days happen! @VictoriaPrentis @scullyp

If you needed a reminder of just how brilliant the wedding industry is, here's @BorisJohnson getting it spot on... #whataboutweddings

Weddings are seasonal. If this season cannot go ahead then there’s a good chance my business won’t survive. I’ve held on for nearly a year but the prospect of another one... I don’t think it can be done financially or mentally #whataboutweddings @scullyp #helpus
I cannot currently reassure & give my couples a clear idea of if their day as they have imagined it can go ahead. As a stationer, almost everything I create has a date printed on it. This lack of clarity erodes trust and causes so much uncertainty. #whataboutweddings @scullyp – at Ealing, London
I love what I do with all my heart. I get to create beautiful letterpressed stationery for my couples and keep a heritage craft alive. But I cannot continue to do this with no roadmap @scullyp. I have had no support as I am a relatively new business. #whataboutweddings – at Ealing, London
I have been luckier than some in that I have been able to pivot my business somewhat to keep my head above water, but it is not enough. We need support, and we especially need a roadmap to help us confidently & safely resume weddings @RishiSunak @VirendraSharma #whataboutweddings – at Ealing, London
If you have ever got married, are getting married, or work in the wedding industry, please join @WAWofficialUK at 8pm tonight and help us get our voices heard. This incredible, joyful industry full of immensely talented creatives has been unsupported & ignored #whataboutweddings – at Ealing, London

Shocking statistics thank you for bringing to my attention. The Government must publish their Equality impact assessment that the select committee asked them to. What are they hiding? I hearing see daily how women are disproportionately impacted & do not feel heard!
@laetisiacarter I cannot thank you enough for standing up and defending the UK Wedding industry today on @BBCPolitics South 🙏 Please kindly look at these @wawofficialuk, stats we've shared today. Shocking and devastating. instagram.com/p/CK_M8oIBvpm/ #WhatAboutWeddings

👩💻 Employs over 400,000 people
💷 Contributes £14.7bn to the economy every year
📸 Creates millions of stories and memories
💝 Must be protected as an important part of society, culture and religion

317 days since the 1st national lockdown and my business was forced to close. 447 days since my last profit making event.
The wedding industry is seasonal. The decision to ban or restrict us so harshly we cannot trade, without specific targeted support, is unacceptable.
There has been no roadmap and no support, either for couples affected or for their suppliers who are at the end of their resources. A wedding is not just a party, but an act of love, trust & commitment. They are important rites of passage #whataboutweddings #standupforweddings – at Ealing, London
Today, we stand up for weddings. For everyone who has had to postpone with no real guidance of when they can go ahead again, and for an industry of suppliers who have been shut down in all but name for the last 10 months. #whataboutweddings #standupforweddings @BorisJohnson – at Ealing, London
As it looks increasingly likely that we are headed for another lockdown/Tier 5, can I ask, where is our much-needed roadmap? Small businesses will have enough to keep them afloat for 2-3 months, not a year. We are struggling with zero support. #whataboutweddings @RishiSunak – at Ealing, London

For the next 6 weeks, I will be in a classroom with 25 children. No masks, no distancing.
In 41 days, I should be getting married with 13 guests but if West Yorkshire is in Tier 4, I won’t be.
Just talk me through this one please @BorisJohnson @WAWofficialUK
