The threat of further postponement to planned nuptials is fraying nerves for the 50,000 couples hoping to tie the knot
Elliott Brown – “groom number two” as he describes himself – is feeling a little nervous about the 95 invitations to his wedding next month that were sent out after the government announced its “roadmap to freedom” back in February.
Brown and his bride-to-be, Samantha, were due to marry last summer but the pandemic put paid to that. His brother Gareth – “groom number one” – got married in a small ceremony last weekend after postponing twice. A third brother, Alex, will tie the knot in August on his fifth attempt. All three ceremonies are at Ripley register office in Derbyshire, with their father, Andy Brown, the deputy registrar, officiating.
