Many couples were eagerly awaiting details on the terms of the deconfinement, from May 11. But the sanitary rules laid down by the government make the organization of marriages a real headache. Edouard Philippe advised the mayors to propose their postponement.

After those of March, April and May, will the marriages planned for the summer also have to be postponed? During his speech presenting the deconfinement plan, Tuesday, Edouard Philippe had to shower the hopes of many couples. The rules that will come into force from May 11 on travel and gatherings should not allow the holding of weddings.

The postponement of weddings proposed by the mayors 

"The town halls will continue to offer, except in emergencies, the postponement of marriages," said Edouard Philippe, preferring to be cautious about certain festive events. The sanitary measures against the coronavirus remain too restrictive to envisage the organization of a marriage.

From May 11, gatherings in private places will always be limited to ten people. If it is possible to consider reducing the number of guests, difficult for the bride and groom to carve out lists of a hundred people sometimes, not counting caterers, servers and other musicians.

Limited interdepartmental travel

Travel restrictions are another constraint for guests and for certain weddings organized far from the place of residence. On May 11, interdepartmental or interregional travel will remain reduced "solely to compelling professional or family reasons".

Finally, isolation should continue for many elderly and "at risk" people. The presence of certain parents wishing to attend the union of family members is all the more complicated.
