It has been over two years yet still many people who have been dreaming of their wedding are being left with no choice but to plan a seated wedding. Couples are spending thousands more for a wedding that isn’t how they dreamt it.  

Restaurants and other establishments are being given the freedom to accommodate more people and events, however the regulations for weddings have not changed. 

Yes, weddings are about the two people starting a married life together, however many people have dreamt of celebrating it with close family and friends in the typical traditional Maltese weddings.

These regulations are causing an intense amount of stress and not to mention further financial struggles due to having to spend more money for a seated wedding. We all deserve to have the wedding of our dreams!

I hope the Maltese government takes this petition seriously since till now nobody has heard of anyone becoming positive to covid after attending a wedding and the seated/no dancing measures do not magically eradicate covid either.

There should be more options to have a standing wedding with PCR tests for the unvaccinated if need be, however the regulations need to change!! They have kept the regulations the same for way too long now! We have a right to celebrate the wedding as we all initially planned and wanted it!
