The popular queen of pop, Queen Latifah was appointed marriage official at the recently concluded mass wedding at the Grammys. Latifah said she was sworn in as a temporary commissioner by the state of
California on Sunday, so the 33 marriages she performed from the Grammy
stage during a performance by Macklemore & Ryan Lewis and Madonna were legal.
The landmark nuptials took place during a medley of the rap duo's
breakout hit "Same Love" — an anthem for same sex marriage advocates —
as Latifah got on stage to officiate the simultaneous wedding of 34 couples of
varying ages and sexual orientations. The ceremony continued as Madonna
took the stage and performed her own classic "Open Your Heart."
After the wedding Latifah while answering to journalists Latifah said with her usual sense of humour "I had to be sworn in as an official. I'm not a minister. If you come
see me before 12 o'clock tonight, I got your back. After that, you'll
have to take the regular route".
