The change allows for people to leave beyond the 1000 meter limitations from their homes in order to go to a chuppa. These are the same guidelines as the ones in place for a bris and for a funeral. The intention is that up to 20 people in an open area. There is no allowance for weddings with dancing and meals. This is only for the performance of the religious service of the chuppa alone.

What he said isn't all that exciting, but it did clarify a rule I think many aren't aware of. I wasn't and I dont recall seeing it explained this way in the media. The allowance for a wedding right now under lockdown is only for a chuppa ceremony. Nothing else.
That being said, what he said made me think of all the businesses, shuls and whatever rebranding as a shul or protest to get around the guidelines and be considered something else that gives a greater allowance. It made me think of a restaurant that might host a siyum during the Nine Days in order to be able to serve meat to customers now hosting weddings so that the guests, up to 20 of course, could sit and eat diner and officially be a part of a wedding rather than a restaurant that is not currently allowed to have seating...
