Be completely honest: If you could have anybody officiate your wedding, wouldn’t it be a celebrity? Can’t you just imagine Beyoncé saying, “By the power vested in me…” and then bursting out in a ballad?
Sadly, we can’t all be Stanford and Anthony on Sex and the City, for whom Liza Minnelli just “manifests” as an officiant and then does the Single Ladies dance at the reception. But celebs (who are just like us, duh) do attend — and sometimes even crash — weddings, act as bridesmaids, and even officiate their friends’ weddings from time to time.
Lady Gaga got ordained after gay marriage was legalized in New York state. Emma Stone played matchmaker. And Kris Jenner? Well, she was kind of born to be a wedding officiant.
Ahead, see which of our favorite celebs have done the coveted “We are gathered here today” gig for their friends and loved ones.
Lady Gaga
Same-sex marriage was legalized in the state of New York in 2011. Soon after, Lady Gaga got ordained to marry her friend and yoga instructor Tricia Donegan and her partner.
