Robbie Williams Officiates Wedding – Pop icon Robbie Williams took on an unexpected role at a New York screening of his new biopic “Better Man” on January 12, 2025. The British singer, who has been an ordained minister since 2002, officiated an impromptu wedding for two fans during the film’s Q&A session.
From Pop Star to Wedding Officiant: Williams’ Surprise Ceremony
The unplanned nuptials unfolded when a fan named Haldun, who shares a name with Williams’ Turkish father-in-law, asked the singer to marry him and his fiancée of five years. Williams, known for his quick wit, embraced the moment with characteristic humor.
Holding a jumbo-sized slushie as an improvised prop, Williams declared, “By the power vested in me by absolutely nobody – it’s not legally binding, but it’s legally binding in your heart and your heart and my heart.” The audience erupted in cheers as the “Angels” singer pronounced the couple husband and wife.
While the ceremony lacks legal standing, it provided a memorable moment for the newlyweds and attendees alike. This isn’t Williams’ first time playing cupid – he previously officiated the wedding of his guitarist friend Billy Morrison in 2002.
The surprise wedding added an extra layer of excitement to the “Better Man” screening, which chronicles Williams’ life and career. The film has garnered attention not only for its content but also for its unique portrayal of Williams as a CGI chimpanzee in certain scenes.
As “Better Man” continues its theatrical run, fans attending screenings might want to come prepared – you never know when Robbie Williams might officiate your wedding next.
