The #WhatAboutWeddings campaign has been created to highlight awareness of the critical need for assistance for the £14.7bn wedding industry. Wedding suppliers, venues and couples are paralysed as a result of the pandemic restrictions which have not been lifted in any recognisable form for weddings.

So after deciding to split our end of October wedding, do we now plan for it as we were or wait for guidance as to if it’ll even happen as it’s in half term? Anyone else feel like they have no luck at all? #whataboutweddings
The closer my original wedding date gets, the more I feel like I should of just gone ahead with 2 Whitnesses and had a takeaway in bed afterwards haha #whataboutweddings #anixetyoverload
@MonmouthshireCC are now allowing ceremonies based on capacity of venues whilst receptions still being capped at 30. I wonder if this will be ruled out to other counties or if it's just 1 rule for 1 🤔 #whataboutweddings
We are back in the position with no guidance but watching the news with anxiety. We compromised massively with 30 people but the lack of clarity from the government is affecting people’s mental health and affecting businesses. We need reassurance/transparency #whataboutweddings
@britishchambers @Walker_Essex @SkyNews @GOVUK We can’t get back to work as our sector has been so restricted and treated appallingly by @GOVUK. I’d love for my business to be working as it should. There are many sectors in the same situation #forgottensectors #whataboutweddings @RishiSunak @BorisJohnson
@Walker_Essex @SophyRidgeSky @SkyNews Totally agree. We have guaranteed work next year but we’ve got to get there! When furlough finishes our overheads leap and we can only maintain that for a few months #whataboutweddings @rishisunak @GOVUK

@BBCNews Next week we have our first paying wedding since March and now it looks like we’re going to be lockdown before we’ve even started again. Wedding sector has been treated horrifically. Furlough extension until Jan desperately needed! @RishiSunak #whataboutweddings @BorisJohnson
@GillianKeegan The wedding industry really needs more help and support. I have my first proper wedding since lockdown in 2 weeks time which will probably be my last till possibly February 2021 unless couples postpone again. I’ve lost my years income like others #whataboutweddings
Every wedding needs a grouse shooting booth now... #grouseshooting #wedding #whataboutweddings
But it’s not my fault I’m fat so #whataboutweddings
So I emailed my MP @Jesse_Norman about our difficult situation CAUSED BY COVID again yesterday and the response I got was: "we'll get back to you in 6-8 weeks time because we're dealing with Covid-related correspondence" #whataboutweddings #ForgottenLtd #ExcludedUK
