10 Celebs Who Have Officiated Same-Sex Weddings

Are you getting married? Well, there's a celebrity for that. On Monday night, the infamous Joan Rivers officiated a same-sex marriage at her NYC book signing for Diary of a Mad Diva. Maybe the Fashion Police star isn't the worst after all? In between throwing shade at Kristen Stewart and insulting the world by telling Jennifer Lawrence to grow up and calling Kimye's bouncing baby, North West, ugly, Rivers apparently found the time to become an ordained by the Universal Life Church Monastery. And now she's granting the wishes of fans that want her to be their wedding minister, but she's not the only celebrity pronouncing couples married these days.

According to ET News' report, Jed Ryan and Joe Aiello, fans of Rivers, raised their hands during the Q&A portion of her book signing and asked the star if she'd marry them on the spot after reading in her book that she's an ordained minister. Even though, the couple admitted, "neither one of us thought she'd say yes!" Well, Rivers did. The star called Aiello and Ryan up on stage and made up some impromptu, funny vows for the couple. And that was that.

This wasn't Rivers' first time presiding over a same-sex wedding. In Feb. 2013, the 81-year-old fashion critic officiated the high-profile wedding of Preston Bailey and Theo Bleckmann atop the Empire State Building in NYC. Watch Rivers' officiating the surprise wedding on Monday night here:
