From over-the-top registries to destination weddings, the American wedding industrial complex is a $161 billion consumer bonanza. But a wedding is more than just a party: Its the beginning of a life-long marriage, an important sacrament in the Catholic Church. Brides want everything to be to their specifications — and priests bristle at being treated like hired help. Friends and family ask about color themes for the reception, and the priest plies pre-Cana compatibility quizzes. Its a cultural war, and engaged couples are on the front lines.

What happens when the princess planning her one perfect day clashes with the priest who would rather preside over a dozen funerals than one wedding?

Find out in the new BustedHalo.com series, The Princess, The Priest and the War for the Perfect Wedding. Send in your questions to [email protected] and hear Dr. Christine Whelan, author of the Pure Sex, Pure Love column go head to head with Father Eric Andrews, a Paulist priest with more than 15 years of wedding experience as they debate your questions: Why cant you get married on the beach? Why is the priest being such a jerk? Why do we have to talk about sex during pre-Cana? And many more.
