<\/p>\nBilly Mayhew (played by Daniel Brocklebank) and Paul Foreman (Peter Ash) meet up with the registrar to go over their wedding plans in upcoming Coronation Street scenes.<\/p>\n
When Paul requests Oh Happy Days for their exit music, the registrar explains they\u2019re not allowed religious music at a civil ceremony.<\/p>\n
Paul\u2019s left gutted by the rules as the song would mean a lot to him and Billy.<\/p>\n
The Coronation Street couple has no other option but to get married in a civil ceremony as the Church of England still forbids same-sex weddings inside a church.<\/p>\n
Perhaps the lovers will elope in a bid to have their dream ceremony in a church setting.<\/p>\n
Will they decide to elope? Could any of their loved ones join them abroad for the special occasion?<\/p>\n
