Jordan's Photography I can account for 40 of these weddings that I should have been doing this year. Imagine your boss walking in a telling you that your not work for 11 months but then you still have to live and pay bills. This is what everyone in this sector is living right now. When do we get to go back and do what we love and are so passionate about.

Traditionally, this Saturday would be our busiest day of the wedding season annually. However, instead:
• 133,560 people will not go to work.
• Because 4,452 weddings will not take place in England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland
• An additional 213,696 workers will not have provided their services.
• A total of 347,256 workers will be impacted in just one day.
• The total direct spend on weddings annually is £14.7bn - £9.4bn on the day itself, £3.2bn spend on retail (outfits, rings, gift list) and £2.1bn on travel, tourism and pre-wedding events (honeymoon, stag & hen, wedding weekend related travel and tourism).
• This means that weddings contribute more to the economy than live sports events and three times that of live arts and cultural events.
• Approx. 250,000 people depend on work related to delivering the day itself with an estimated 150,000 more in support functions - a total of 400,000 involved in weddings.
