Scottish couples - who are getting married or entering a civil partnership - do not now have to wear face masks at their ceremonies thanks to the easing of Covid-19 restrictions.
Nicola Sturgeon ’s easing of the guidelines kicks in on Friday, October 16 as long as the happy couple are partitioned or at least two metres away from other people.
The move applies to all couples taking part in an indoor marriage ceremony or civil partnership registration in Scotland.
Nicola Sturgeon also unveiled further measures that come into force on Friday include the wearing of face coverings in more workplace settings.
These include the canteen - when not sitting at a table - and in corridors.
Ms Sturgeon said: “We introduced restrictions on household meetings three weeks ago, together with very tough additional restrictions last week.
"However, the most recent of those changes, in particular, will not yet be having an impact on case numbers.
“And there is no doubt that we are currently in a precarious position.That explains why I can confirm to the Parliament that all of our existing Covid restrictions will remain in place.”
