Great Britain - Marriage skipped, salty account. Love in the time of the virus

 Cursed coronavirus, which also makes orange blossoms wither. For not a few couples of promised British spouses to the detriment of the epidemic, the isolation and the postponement of marriages set for some time, the insult of the salty account was added, which were however delivered for the late cancellation of already booked receptions. A full-fledged harassment, the defrauders now report, pointing the finger at the managers of rooms and banquets.
    In many cases flexibility and common sense prevailed; but there are those who thought it well to try to bill the same, holding on to clauses and quibbles to recover some of the money that the emergency is causing everyone to lose. To the detriment of clients like Adam Gibbs, 36, and Sarah Summerskill, 33, for example, who were supposed to fulfill their love dream in May, but were forced to blow up all anti-Covid-19 restrictions. Foresight, Adam and Sarah had booked 18 months in advance at Cain Manor, a pleasant location in Surrey, southern England, for a cost of 17,000 pounds: 13,000 of which paid in advance to the Bijou Weddings company. Money of which they will not review a penny, unless legal recourse, since the company has charged an 80% penalty for the delay in cancellation. It wasn't even up to them. A figure that on the other hand the insurance - duly stipulated - refuses to cover by entrenching itself behind force majeure.
    "It is foolish to pay 80% of a service never provided for a never-organized reception," Adam commented to the BBC, triggering a public scandal that led others to come out. Like Jack Trowsdale, 27, and Claudia Dickens, 25 (entrusted to the same company for a wedding scheduled in Sussex in June and also canceled), unable in turn to recover the 21,000 pounds of super deposit, unstitched, and the result of tiring savings, despite having seen wages halved in the meantime due to lockdown.
    In the face of the bad figure, Bijou Weddings resolved to offer bugger couples the chance to rebook the wedding on another date - and "at no additional cost", his goodness - as long as by 2020. Provided that the virus is d 'agreement.
