This is the sixth episode of the Princess, The Priest and the war for the perfect wedding, and a viewer asked the priest and the princess why their favorite love song from the Beatles cannot be played on their wedding day. I guess the inquirer is not alone in this issue since most of the couples i met have this same problem especially if the Parish they will be married is strict. Being a geek of the liturgy, I know the valid reasons why secular songs are shun from the liturgy itself, but let us dwell further on issue by listening to what the Priest has to say about this, on this very interesting Busted Halo’s web series.
