My sentence read; 'Not everyone is able to have a church wedding today, reason being that some congregations... (...)'. A 'the' was inserted before the word 'reason', making the sentence read as follows ' Not everyone is able to have a church wedding today, the reason being that some congregations....'. Why can't the sentence do without 'the'? Could anyone explain to me?:-o
