According to the couple, however, they weren’t sure that the wedding would go ahead on that date because of COVID-19. When reports of the vaccine started to surface, however, Roberts told SWNS that she started to get hopeful.

She continued, “The council and the NPT within that area had decided after much deliberation they were going to take over the Margram Orangery from December 13, for a whole year. In total, they canceled about 60 other weddings and we have to wait until 2022.”

The couple has reportedly been told that if the vaccine is fully distributed before the end of 2021, they can still have their wedding at the venue. Unfortunately, that would mean re-planning the wedding in what may be only a matter of weeks.

And a little compensation to everyone that's been involved would have been a massive help.”
