Yes, the cover applies to persons up to 70 years old. So if a bride or groom, a best man, or a first or second-degree relative is 70 years or older, and the wedding has to be postponed because that person falls ill or dies, there is no cover.
Yes, you can. You can add 'bad weather cover' to the insurance. If the wedding then has to be interrupted or relocated due to extreme weather, you will be reimbursed for the costs incurred.
