Being able to say "yes" to yourself in a festive atmosphere and surrounded by your loved ones.
A crucial life experience that will be possible again from May 19, as Le Parisien - Today in France revealed from May 3.
In detail, from this new stage of deconfinement, wedding parties will be able to bring together guests within the limit of 35% of the capacity of the premises, indoors and outdoors, including marquees.
While neither PCR tests negative for Covid-19, nor a health pass will be mandatory for the wedding, indoor seated meals with more than six people are not recommended.
As for town hall ceremonies (provisions also valid for PACS), the standard in force is that two seats be left vacant between two people or groups of people from the same household, with every other row unoccupied.
From May 19, the rule will now be one in three locations, with staggered positioning between each row.
A protocol already in progress in places of worship.

"A wedding every two days in July-August"
A calendar that should relieve the bride and groom, but also professionals in the sector.
Because 2020 was a black year in terms of unions.
Only 148,000 marriages are to be counted, a historic drop of 34.1% compared to the previous year.
In 2019, 227,000 marriages were celebrated, according to data from INSEE.
“We will finally be able to work.
We expect to celebrate around 40,000 weddings in June ”, rejoices Mélissa Humbert-Ferrand, spokesperson for the Union of Solidarity Professionals in Events (UPSE).
“The season will resume slowly, nuance Amel Antony, head of the Amel Event Paris agency in Thiais (Val-de-Marne).
Many couples had already canceled their party in May and June, but we are preparing to organize a wedding every other day in July-August.

A party under curfew
An unknown woman remained.
Can the ball continue after 9 p.m., the new curfew schedule starting May 19, and 11 p.m. starting June 9?
