When step three of reopening in Ontario begins on July 16, the number of people that can attend weddings will change and your guest list can get a lot bigger.

In the province's third phase of reopening, there can be up to 25 people in attendance if the wedding is happening indoors and up to 100 people if it's happening outdoors.

Everyone attending a wedding during step three, regardless of whether it's being held indoors or outdoors, has to comply with rules for physical distancing.

For indoor ceremonies and receptions, the province says the number of people in a space must be limited to only the number of people that can keep up a physical distance of at least 2 metres from everyone else in the room. So, you can't cram 25 people into a room that is meant to hold 15.

Throughout the pandemic, with restrictions on travel and gathering sizes, people all over the country have had to be creative with their weddings. That includes getting married in tiny chapels, having a wedding at the Canada-U.S. border and saying "I do" over FaceTime.
