The highest honour in the music industry-2014 Grammys was held last night at the Staples Center in LA with incredible performances from the likes of Beyonce and Jay-Z, Madonna, Macklemore and others…
Also, after Macklemore finished verses on the monstrous hit, 33 couples came up unto the aisles of the Staples Center for Queen Latifah to officiate their wedding ceremony in front of the millions of people who were watching the Grammys worldwide.
It was such an amazing sight… After the officiating, Queen told the press that;
It was something I took very seriously, that is someone’s life commitment to one another, you want to make sure you do it right. That’s what sunk in for me. To have your wedding in front of 100 million people is pretty momentous. I can say I was here and that will not leave me. I look forward to dashing off and signing all their wedding certificates.
