    places of worship though, should only be allowed to open for funerals and 'emergency' weddings. 
    If I recall correctly, places of worship were closed in the March lockdown.  Not sure why that would be different now.
    It caused some issues, people with terminal diagnoses couldn't get married to secure their partner's status/financial support etc.  I think they were always able to hold funerals, weren't they?
    If the wedding is such an emergency, and for purely status / financial reasons, why does it need to be dealt with in a church?
    Where else would you hold it that would be safer? 
    Under the porch of the local registry office should be more than enough where it is being done for financial reasons.  No need for anything more than that for the purposes outlined.  
  • I think they have been deemed as essential and so are allowed to open.
