The UK government has published new coronavirus guidelines for weddings in England which includes washing of hands before exchanging rings and banning large receptions. The advice for England states that no more than 30 people should attend a wedding ceremony from July 4 and social distancing rules must be obeyed.
Under new guidelines, wedding and civil partnerships can go ahead but with only 30 people including the couple, staff such as a photographer and witnesses.
People should socially distance, meaning they should be two metres apart as much as possible, or one metre with added safety measures.
Venues frequently used for weddings should mark the floor with tape or paint to help people maintain social distancing.
Face mask may become compulsory
Services should be concluded in the "shortest reasonable time" and "stick to the parts that are legally binding".
Receptions are not advised, and should be small, with only two households able to meet indoors.
However, no food and drink can be consumed as part of the event.
Government advice also suggests changing traditional wedding layouts to avoid face-to-face seating, improving ventilation or using face masks.
