New rules regarding weddings game into play on Monday, giving newlyweds more freedom about planning weddings. Weddings and civil partnership ceremonies now permit up to 30 people in COVID-secure venues that are permitted to open. They can take place either indoors in a COVID-secure venue (this does not include private homes), or outdoors (which does include private gardens). Guests will still need to wear face coverings and have also been advised not to dance. While these restrictions still aren’t ideal- they are still much more relaxed than before and shouldn’t prevent you from marrying the love of your life.

Many Americans Fall Victim to Unemployment Aid Fraud
WASHINGTON Generous unemployment benefits put in place by the CARES Act and subsequent relief packages to respond to pandemic-related joblessness have become an easy target for identity thieves and other criminals. Most states have been hit by fraud committed on a vast scale, mainly by international organized crime rings.
In March, the Labor Department inspector general’s office estimated that more than $63 billion in unemployment benefits had been paid out improperly through fraud or errors since the beginning of the pandemic.
Rep. Jackie Walorski (R-Ind.) called it “a frightening number” that exceeds “the entire budget of the Department of Homeland Security.”
The holidays are over, so it’s lights out in Aspen. Or at least they are supposed to be, according to city law.
City officials are making a concerted effort to inform property owners that they are violating the municipal land use code if they have any outdoor lighting on the exterior of their homes or landscaping.
The city has specific regulations about exterior lighting during the holiday season, and it’s only permitted between Nov. 15 and March 1.
Amy Simon, the city’s planning director, said the municipal government has received complaints that holiday lights were turned on before Nov. 1 and have remained on past March 1.
