LOVE-STRUCK couples arranging to tie the knot will be forced to wait until October after Essex County Council stopped taking new bookings. The council, which supplies registrars to non-religious venues, said it acted due to the high demand created by postponed ceremonies due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Bosses stressed no weddings will be cancelled and all those already booked will be honoured. But new couples looking to book date will have to wait until October at the earliest. An Essex County Council spokesperson said: “The Covid-19 pandemic has created a massive pent-up demand for wedding services. “There are the weddings which were postponed last year and the normal number of weddings which take place every year.
