Paul Foreman (Peter Ash) and Billy Mayhew (Daniel Brocklebank) were given some upsetting news about their wedding plans in Coronation Street.<\/p>\n
The couple are set to get married next week, but the ceremony will be held in the Bistro, not the church, because it is a gay wedding.<\/p>\n
It is a frustrating and unfair rule the couple must stick by and tonight, Paul was given another reminder as to how strict the boundaries are.<\/p>\n
During a chat with the Registrar, Paul put forward the idea of having O Happy Day as the exit music during the wedding.<\/p>\n

Billy and the Registrar reminded Paul that because is it a hymn, it cannot be used.<\/p>\n
Paul updated Bernie (Jane Hazlegrove), Todd (Gareth Pierce) and Summer (Harriet Bibby) later in the cafe and they were just as shocked. Bernie, being the iconic character she is, initially said she\u2019d have a word with the Registrar and even considered praying, but Billy pointed out there was nothing that could be done.<\/p>\n
As much as Billy tried to tell Paul that it didn\u2019t matter they weren\u2019t getting married in a church, he wasn\u2019t exactly convinced.<\/p>\n
When Billy was out of the flat, Paul invited Summer, Todd and Bernie over for a chat.<\/p>\n

He hinted at needing their help but with the wedding tomorrow (aka, next Monday\u2019s episode), will Paul\u2019s mysterious mission impact how things play out on the big day?<\/p>\n
\u2018I think he knows Billy very well now and Paul knows that Billy\u2019s downplaying how upset he is about not being able to get married in a church\u2019, Peter Ash told us.<\/p>\n
\u2018Shelly\u2019s death is something that brings out Paul\u2019s faith. At the funeral he kind of has a spiritual moment. Wanting to get married in a church is a bit more of a priority now for Paul, but he wants to do it mainly for Billy.<\/p>\n
\u2018He knows Billy has devoted his life to the church and he knows that\u2019s where he wants to get married. So it\u2019s a bit disappointing that they can\u2019t, and there can\u2019t be any religious music and all those rules that go around it. Billy\u2019s downplaying it but Paul knows he really is a bit upset that they can\u2019t have any of that at the wedding.\u2019<\/p>\n
