Benedict Cumberbatch Has Made It Possible For Him To Marry You

Almost Totally Excellent

Imagine it. You walk down the aisle on your special day and lock eyes with Benedict Cumberbatch. Then you turn to the side and go, “Oh, right. You.” Such is how I imagine any wedding the newly ordained actor officiates. Yes, that’s right, Cumberbatch can legally marry you. But not to himself, to your significant other. He explains, “Two friends of mine are getting married and they really wanted a friend to perform the ceremony. So I went on the Internet and got ordained. I really know how to do weddings now! And I’m available!”

As much as I love this story, it still doesn’t beat Sir Ian McKellen marrying Sir Patrick Stewart.
