I talked to K last night and apparently, V is having some issues planning the music for the wedding (yes, another friend is getting married. . .when it rains, it pours, you know). She wants K to sing "Ave Maria", which is not an unusual request for weddings. However, V is getting married in a Baptist church (she is Catholic) and her music has to be approved by the church! Isn't that ridiculous?!! The church planner asserts that "Ave Maria" is a "Catholic" song, and doesn't belong in a Baptist wedding. Never mind that "Ave Maria" has been sung at weddings in her family for generations. . . It's okay for people to sing really bad versions of "I Hope You Dance" or "From this Moment" at a wedding, but not a beautiful version of the "Ave Maria". Can someone explain that to me?

But we won't delve into my issues with the Southern Baptist church. I don't think you have all day to read, and I know I don't have all day to type.
