Joan Rivers officiates gay couple’s wedding at NY book signing

Comedian and author Joan Rivers on Monday officiated an impromptu wedding of a same-sex on at a book signing in New York City.

Entertainment Tonight reports:

Rivers, 81, was taking questions from her fans when Jed Ryan and Joe Aiello, a couple of three years, raised their hands and ask if the comic – who is an ordained minister capable of officiating weddings – would marry them right then and there.

It was a no-brainer for Rivers who quickly got them up on stage, had them hold hands, and then came up with some funny and touching vows on the spot.

Watch:

Rivers is an ordained minister in the Universal Life Church. Her new book, “Diary of a Mad Diva,” was released this week.
