Andrea Bocelli didn't go to Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes' wedding ceremony because he felt it went against his Catholic faith. I respect his decision. But I don't really understand it. I am Catholic and have been a bridesmaid in my very good friend's wedding who was Jewish. I didn't think I was disrespecting anything. Instead I felt honored to be included. What do you think?

"Tom is a friend of mine. He is a big talent and has a great sensibility. I sang two small songs - one at the party for the dinner. (It was) a romantic, classic piece in Italian. I was not present at the (Scientology) ceremony because I'm Catholic. I didn't think it was respectful for my religion to be there."

Andrea Bocelli has admitted that he was asked to perform at Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes' wedding but has declined. Instead, he will attend as a guest because he has to "save his voice for his tour".
