The bride-to-be described in a popular post to forum Mumsnet that she was having a “major meltdown” after testing positive during routine workplace testing, without any symptoms.

“I am getting married on Sunday and having a large wedding with 80 day guests and an additional 100 at night. We have spent around 16k on the wedding and I have contacted my insurance provider and they are telling me I am not covered as current guidance would allow me to go ahead,” she wrote.

The venue, she said, has informed her that it is also too late to cancel with all food and drinks ordered ahead of time.

“We have saved for years and years to have our wedding the way we want it, I really don’t know what to do. If I cancel, I will lose so much money and won’t be able to have our dream wedding ever.”
