http://www.leinsterexpress.ie/news/arts-culture-entertainment/652530/breaking-health-minister-believes-electric-picnic-unlikely-to-happen.html  Thought this would be used as a test event. Disappointing seeing as any adult that wants it will be fully vaccinated by then and we see Britain battering on with events like this. Don't see how the picture will be any better in the future so you'd have to wonder when we are actually going to get on with large scale events again with or without proof of vaccine

For anyone that’s interested, the HSE card that you get when you’re vaccinated was enough to enter France. Didn’t need a negative PCR test and I don’t have a Digital Covid cert. The chap at passport control in Cherbourg only glanced at the card.

I feel for people who were meant to get married during covid, I really do. My own brothers wedding wasn't only reduced in numbers last year but also a last minute change of venue after a staff member at the original venue got covid. But surely a wedding is a want and not a need.

I agree and when the numbers are small it is an issue.  But sorry going from 50 to 100 is purely in the need of wants as nobody needs to have more than 50 at a wedding.  The protest yesterday was laughable and for anyone to think it worked is also laughable.  The plan was to move to 100 in August anyway and they just followed through on their promise.  Protesting in bridal dresses was laughable.  1st world problems.

The most entitled protect of all time.  Beyond satire. 

No, but belittling people who don't have a clue how many people they can invite to one of the biggest days of their lives even though it might take place in a couple of weeks smacks of the I'm all right, screw the rest attitude you continue to possess on this thread...They put a bit of pressure on and it appeared to work anyway. Fair play.

That’s one of hell of an allegations,  please post up evidence there please.  Just to say I missed the birth of my baby girl due to the restrictions but sure you suck it up and I agreed with them at the time and there was far greater suffering than my minor inconvenience at the time.  Having a wedding of a 50 or 100 is far down the food chain in my opinion. 

Having more than 50 at a wedding is a luxury not a necessity simple as that. Of all the hardships that people have put up with during covid from lost jobs to deaths to not being with their loved ones when they died or married etc or cancelled weddings etc etc  being restricted to 50 is not a hardship at all.  As I said beyond satire and laughable that they would protest about it.

You’ve no problem with people going to BLM protests when it doesn’t have anything to do with them yet when someone is protesting about something that might affect them like wedding numbers for their big day you have a problem with that.

😀😀😀 yeah of course one is standing in solidarity with people who have suffered and are discriminated against and by doing it for other people it’s not a selfish act.  

The other is because you can’t have 50 extra people beyond your immediate family and friends at a wedding.  So of course I support the former not the latter.   Was that meant to be a retort 😀😀😀

Well you’re in the minority as far as weddings are concerned but you’ve controversial views on nearly every topic think it’s all just for a reaction now.

I agree why do you need 50 extra people at a wedding? I'd say the brides insta accounts are going through the roof, in a wedding dress outside Leinster house!!  All a load of rubbish imo i know lots of people who would only be too happy to have 50 or under at their weddings.

What controversial view have I expressed here.  As far as I could see the protests on Twitter and other places got derided as the ultimate in privilege 😀😀😀. 

I think most of my views are centre ground to be honest.  Not sure what controversial views I have expressed on this thread.  Either way it’s not about me, I was just pointing out there protest was laughable and the beyond satire and tone deaf to be honest.   I am glad they can have 100 at their weddings.

Couple of friends that were hit by the Covid stuff and have had to postpone their weddings I have advised the following to consider:
1. Do it on a Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday.
2. Invite 50-70 of the most important people to you, the most important people will be able to make it anyway with enough notice. The rest of the 50-130 people that you would have normally felt you had to invite you wouldn't really miss them not being there.
3. You can get your venue half the price compared to (a) the extra cost of a weekend and (b) the minimum numbers the venues make you have if doing it on the weekend .
4, You can potentially make it a 2 day wedding with your closest 50-70 for the price of 1 day on a Friday or Saturday. 

Both have said "no wouldn't do that" and are holding out for the big weddings on a Friday/Saturday but I bet when it's all said and done and that 1 day goes by so quick and they look back at what they spent for that one day, I wonder will their tune be changed. I certainly think I would do it differently.

You’re the one moaning about the wedding protests I’m just saying you’ve no problem with the BLM protests so if people want to protest about wedding numbers that’s their business respect their right to protest aswell no matter how you think it comes across.

I didn’t say they should be banned from protesting.  They are free to Protest but I am also free to point out how tone deaf and out of touch and privileged it is.  Then you tried saying I was being controversial and you are the one comparing it to BLM which is laughable in the extreme.  You don’t have a point to make here at all.
