Mum, wife, granny, gardener, crafter, runner & likes the odd glass of wine. Desperate for my daughter’s postponed wedding to go ahead as she planned in 2019

We see you @BorisJohnson following none of the rules we have for weddings! We see you standing for drinks with your mates watching the footie! We see the hypocrisy. We see @Keir_Starmer doing nothing. #standupforweddings #whataboutweddings

Just a few examples in the last few weeks of you @BorisJohnson having a standing drinks reception. Which we are not allowed at our wedding! #whataboutweddings @BBCNews @susannareid100 @itvnews @piersmorgan @SkyNews @Channel4News @Telegraph @thetimes @DailyMailUK @WAWofficialUK

You seem to enjoy a good old standing drinks reception @BorisJohnson - do you even know that they carry a £10K fine if there's a bride & groom present? Either you have no idea or you just enjoy rubbing salt into the wounds of so many couples who just long for a normal wedding....

Crowds at Wimbledon, crowded at football, crowds at ascot but weddings still under ridiculous restrictions. Utterly shameful @BorisJohnson #whataboutweddings

All we want is fairness. Why one rule for you and another rule for the thousands of us who have been living in limbo for months, and even postponed our weddings by a year…? @BorisJohnson @Keir_Starmer #whataboutweddings
Thoroughly fed up with seeing @BorisJohnson continually courting popularity at standing drinks receptions while it is still illegal to stand up with a drink in your hand at a wedding reception #enoughisenough #whataboutweddings

This is heartbreaking and this is why we are fighting. @BorisJohnson @sajidjavid listen, read what people are saying, this isn’t about a party this is about a major life event #whataboutweddings
Replying to @BorisJohnson
@BorisJohnson yesterday I sat with a bride who lost her mum 2 weeks ago to cancer, she's postponed her wedding twice and now her Mum won't see her married. It's not just a party you're ruining - these are life events and they matter. #EnoughIsEnough #whataboutweddings
Replying to @BorisJohnson
@BorisJohnson you have very cleverly said weddings are unrestricted and everyone outside of the industry believes you. Yet they are very much restricted, no singing, no dancing, masks, social distance, Dads not giving their daughters away, the list goes on #whataboutweddings

@TheSun @GMB @BBCNews @BBCR1 @BBCPanorama @itvnews @SkyNews any chance of some coverage of the absolute farce the government is making of wedding restrictions please? #whataboutweddings
Weddings are not allowed a drinks reception but @BorisJohnson appears to deem it safe, time and time again! Is this fair? @scullyp @michaelgove @sajidjavid @PennyMordaunt @KwasiKwarteng #whataboutweddings

We see you Boris & Keir. We demand to know why weddings are not being treated fairly. The rules don't seem to apply to you so why are we being targeted? We ask AGAIN #whataboutweddings @BorisJohnson @Keir_Starmer

First, the G7 BBQ & drinks (non-seated), then an England football drinks & buffet (also non-seated). One rule for you and another for weddings, eh old chum? You absolute hypocrite. Sort it out @BorisJohnson @WAWofficialUK #whataboutweddings #weddings #notmyprimeminister
16 months since my first couple decided to postpone, 16 months on & I'm still getting postponements because of your ridiculous rules! How can I run a business like this!? How can you run a government that treats the wedding sector so unfairly! #whataboutweddings @BorisJohnson
Hey @BorisJohnson - if you can stand up and have a drink with your ‘mates’ while you watch the football, why can’t couples celebrate with a glass in hand with friends and family on their wedding day? Or don’t the rules apply to you? #whataboutweddings
Beautiful daughter getting married Friday 2nd July what a bloody farce, sports crowds @BorisJohnson standing drinks reception talk about @MattHancock double standards #whataboutweddings it’ll be a churchillian ‘v’ sign from us 🕺🎉🕺🍷🎩

Constant blatant disregard for the ridiculous rules placed on weddings! Flaunting the fact they can do what the hell they like!! #whataboutweddings
The sexism that we have experienced during this pandemic is unbelievable! The old boys club has decided that sports are essential but life events such as weddings are not….the anger I feel about this is making me ill! @sajidjavid @Keir_Starmer @MartinSLewis #whataboutweddings

2 days left and I’m still just stressing over these ludicrous restrictions when the football fans see no consequences? @BorisJohnson doing what he likes with standing drinks? Absolute joke. #whataboutweddings
