Actress and singer Queen Latifah added one more title to her list of accomplishments. She is now a certified wedding officiant!
Latifah joined 33 couples together in a wedding ceremony at the Grammy Awards during a performance by Macklemore of his song "Same-Love." Couples were of different races, orientations, ages, beliefs, and backgrounds, but united together in equality and matrimony.
Award shows may not be a favorite for everyone, but this wedding created a very touching moment.
