Britney Spears slams Catholic church for refusing to host her wedding as she is not a practicing member: ‘Isn’t church supposed to be open to all?’
Britney Spears has complained that she wanted to have her wedding to Sam Asghari in a Catholic church but was denied due to her not being a practicing member and was asked to study for a test.
The Baby One More Time star – was raised Southern Baptist – tied the knot with her husband in front of various celebrity guests at the star’s Thousand Oaks mansion earlier in June.
However, the 40-year-old singer, 40, shared a photo on her Instagram of St. Monica Catholic Church which is located in Santa Monica, California, writing, ‘I wanted to get married there.’

‘This is where I originally wanted to get married during COVID!!!’ she wrote out to her 41.8 million followers.

‘I wanted to go every Sunday,’ the Toxic hitmaker continued in the caption. ‘It’s beautiful and they said it was temporarily shut down due to COVID !!!!’
Britney then explained that after two years since the pandemic hit, she aimed to wed at the church once again.
‘Then 2 years later when I wanted to get married there they said I had to be catholic and go through TEST !!!! Isn’t church supposed to be open to all.’
Instead of converting to Catholicism, which can be a very lengthy process, the performer opted to hold a lavish wedding ceremony at her mansion, with guests such as Madonna and Paris Hilton in attendance.
