@JessieSorores I am not allowed to photograph tomorrow’s ceremony, room not big enough, apparently !

This is utterly ridiculous. From a registrar today. Honestly it cannot continue. Couples deserve more. #whataboutweddings

@JessieSorores Your resilience is truly amazing x

Right, I am off to bed. Today was emotionally exhausting challenging people time and time again, speaking to the media all day and saying what we have been saying for 16 months. Tomorrow is another day. We won’t be beaten. #whataboutweddings

Hey @BorisJohnson when are we getting married?! #whataboutweddings @scullyp @WAWofficialUK

The mental load for many in the wedding industry has now become unbearable. With no income for a year, no industry specific support and no plans for getting weddings back on track, people are genuinely on the verge of losing their homes & businesses. #whataboutweddings

To all who participated in this evenings @WAWofficialUK twitter bomb, THANK YOU. We understand and appreciate taking an hour out of your Sunday evening is a lot to ask, but look what you did. @scullyp @carriesymonds @BorisJohnson @RishiSunak

When we ask for a roadmap, understand this- we are not demanding that weddings begin again tomorrow. We just want the opportunity to work together to build a solid, SAFE plan for reopening. Work is waiting for us but we need financial support to tide us over. #whataboutweddings

@Keir_Starmer we kindly ask you to stand with us and ask the government #whataboutweddings @RishiSunak @BorisJohnson @paulscullymp

Staggering. The wedding industry stands firmly beside @ExcludedUK and @ForgottenLtd @ForgottenPAYE @PregnantScrewed We need parity with other heavily restricted sectors and those who received furlough/SEISS. #whataboutweddings

This is devastating alone for couples trying to plan their lives & businesses relying on seasonal incoming trying to plan their livelihoods. The lack of support/plan is destroying this wonderful industry. Please help @scullyp @BorisJohnson @carriesymonds #whataboutweddings

We need a plan for the wedding industry. We need this for suppliers that have not earnt money in nearly a year and for our couples to help them know if their wedding can go ahead and they can plan the day of their dreams. #whataboutweddings @scullyp @RishiSunak @BorisJohnson

I have paid business interruption insurance for years and paid nothing when most needed and government barely mentions the wedding industry, time to listen @paulscullymp @RishiSunak @BorisJohnson @kevinhollinrake #whataboutweddings

On Feb 22nd, the Gov't will have the opportunity to include the wedding industry in it's roadmap for safe reopening. If they bypass us yet again, our seasonal industry is destined for collapse. Already a year with no income, we can't manage another #whataboutweddings @scullyp

I make a direct plea to you, @carriesymonds. Please visit @WAWofficialUK whataboutweddings.co.uk and understand what our £14bn industry is facing. We are an 80% female workforce of 400k and NEED support. We are on our kneeds and devastated. PLEASE, help us #whataboutweddings

Lockdown one was hopeful & sunny Lockdown two was chaos as we had to move weddings forward unexpectedly Lockdown three is never ending into the unknown and pushing our industry into the brink of depression #roadmap #whataboutweddings

I can’t believe we are still sat at home watching our businesses crumble with limited @GOVUK support. Closed to protect lives & NHS but no compensation for doing so. We’ve waited patiently but now it is time! #whataboutweddings @scullyp @BorisJohnson @RishiSunak @GillianKeegan

We own/run a marquee company. We need your help. We cannot work @paulscullymp @10DowningStreet @BorisJohnson @RishiSunak #whataboutweddings

That’s around 200k couples who postponed from 2020 and 250k + couples who booked for 2021. Its a lot of angry, frustrated, anxious and upset people. Plus their families and friends. @scullyp #whataboutweddings
