Westminster Cathedral Rule Out Madonna Wedding


MADONNA's hopes of royal-style nuptials have taken another bashing - WESTMINSTER CATHEDRAL have ruled out the singer's chances of walking down its aisles.

The MATERIAL GIRL was hoping to wed her beau GUY RITCHIE in London's WESTMINSTER ABBEY, but after a spokesman for the Abbey said this would be impossible, the cathedral was the next most obvious place.

But a source inside the cathedral explains, "It would be out of the question for her to get married here. We're not just a substitute for the Abbey. "She's not even a parishioner and she'd also have to be a practising Catholic. If she really wants to marry here, she'll have to get a special dispensation from her parish church and then come and talk to a priest here in person." (JM/WN/RGS)
