18 Celebrities Who Officiate Weddings, And 11 Who Just Crash Them

Weddings are fun. The music, the food, the extravagant white dress, and the occasional drama from bride or groom monsters, all of which make for a very entertaining celebration.
No big wedding is completed without rows and rows of guests. Some even include celebrities as honored guests. And some hit the celebrity guest jackpot: They have this guest officiate their wedding. Score!
Other times, some are even luckier when they have random celebrities crashing their wedding. Either way, having celebrities as witnesses for the biggest day of your life is a great perk that only a few have had.
