My point was that the number of weddings would be extremely small therefore it's deemed to be an acceptable risk for the few instances to which it applies. It will, for example, be more than offset by the closures of schools where dozens of gatherings of 20 or more happen every day in one secondary school.

The number of weekly services attended by 20 people would be far greater aggregating to possibly thousands (tens of?) of worshippers making it a far greater risk.

It's never been about one activity being inherently safer than another. Having a main meal doesn't make a pub that serves food safer, neither does an earlier shutting time. However if you put enough inconveniences in place eventually some people just don't bother.
