This super-secret celebrity wedding ceremony was an instant hit

"Last year, a personal friend called and asked, 'Hey, I'm getting married, will you officiate our wedding?'

Because it was a friend, I immediately said yes. But as we talked about the particulars, I noticed he was holding some things back -- in particular, information about where the event will be…

My friend just gave me the address and said, 'You'll understand,' and because I knew him, I took him at his word.

Long story short, my friend was marrying the daughter of a music legend in a secret exclusive ceremony, and the wedding was at the legend's home!

After I realized where I was, I pulled myself together and performed a great ceremony...

So much so that the superstar mother was so moved by it, that she jumped on the piano and began to play and sing one of her greatest hits!

It was amazing!”
