Red smoke to distract you from the realities of a Red Light wedding
Ahhh COVID-19, ya massive pain in the derrière!
OK, so it looks inevitable that we’ll have to cruise into the Red Traffic Light once there’s a community outbreak of Omicron in NZ.
So, let’s chat about the Red blimmin elephant in the room – because being prepared for a Red wedding (as opposed to the GoT Red Wedding) is the best position to be in. And it’s all about how the vaccine pass system is being used – and it must be used correctly.
Here’s what can be expected at any wedding that I’m associated with as soon as New Zealand is placed into the Red Traffic Light, as outlined by the Government this week: the Prime Minister plans to move the entire country to Red within 24 to 48 hours once Omicron is discovered because “Omicron will move so quickly”.
