Katie Holmes & Tom Cruise Wedding Hits Scientology Snag?

All reports for this month are aiming at a November wedding for Tom Cruise and his long-time fiancé the fabulous Katie Holmes™.  If these reports are correct - the long engagement will come to an end in November sometime before Thanksgiving.

But according to one report - there may be a bit of a snag ands the report claims that the block may be because of Scientology.

TMZ calls it a "persistent buzz" and reports Katie's parents are still outraged that the nuptials -- whenever and wherever they happen -- will be conducted by the Church of Scientology, rather than in the Catholic tradition. 

And there have even been suggestions that the family Holmes is threatening a last-minute boycott of the wedding to try to convince Katie to have a proper Catholic ceremony, even if she does one Scientology-style, too, a report over the weekend detailed.

Katie was born a Roman Catholic and went to parochial schools growing up in Toledo, Ohio, and so it would only be fitting for her to be married with the usual Catholic rites -- not in a Scientology ceremony, in which the bride is sometimes called a "girl" marrying a "man" and in which one of the solemn "pacts" of marriage is that the couple agree not to go to bed angry, the web site writes in their Sunday morning update.

Cue the rep™:

--The Holmes family has not commented publicly on the situation, though the TomKat mothers were spotted recently having lunch with their children.

--Cruise's rep maintains that the couple will be married sometime in the fall.

For the record - The first day of Winter is December 21, 2006.
