Weddings throughout the UK were limited to 30 attendees to prevent the spread of coronavirus.
However, Prime Minister Boris Johnson lifted the restriction on June 21st, instead allowing the number of guests for a wedding to be dictated by the venue's capacity,

'Yes, bell ringing,' Ricky added. 'We didn't have any of that and there was no dancing so we couldn't do the Hokey Cokey or anything like that.'
The couple tied the knot earlier this month in a socially-distanced and Catholic ceremony with 20 guests at St Patrick's Church in Huddersfield, where Grace's parents and grandparents previously married.
The Kaiser Chiefs frontman shared photos of his wedding to the stylist earlier in June- including a stunning snap of the bride in her dress.

'One of my favourite wedding pics. Naturally there are more to come...'
Talking in a recent interview with OK! magazine, which also featured stunning pictures from their big day, Ricky and Grace insisted there will be another 'huge' celebration for people who didn't attend due to restrictions only allowing 30 guests at the time.
His Kaiser Chiefs bandmates weren't invited to his wedding for this reason.
The couple performed their first dance to The Whole Of The Moon by The Waterboys.

After the wedding at St Patrick's Church, the newly-married couple enjoyed a romantic reception at Woodcroft Estate where they arrived in a Rolls-Royce Silver Spur II and had confetti made from the plants from the park they got engaged at.
Talking to the magazine from their honeymoon near Ascot - after they had to cancel a getaway to their home in Menorca, Spain - Ricky said: 'It's not the last opportunity we'll ever have to have a big party, There's so much to look forward to in the future now.
'I feel like it's a weight off our shoulders. I feel like we can now move on and anything seems possible now. There were loads of friends that couldn't be there – my band weren't even there. But we've got plenty of opportunity to have a big party and we are going to do it.'
While Grace added: 'It's quite nice actually, because there's so many people who've been through exactly the same thing and everyone's got a story. I think a lot of people are deciding to have smaller weddings because you can't wait around forever, can you?'

After the celebration, Ricky shared photos from their honeymoon in Berkshire and wrote: 'Me and Grace had the best time on our 3 day honeymoon… messing about on the river, sitting in the garden, and eating too much.
'Thanks to everyone at @limelightescapes @limelightloves For sorting it out, and all at @braycottages for being so great. :).'
