Justin Timberlake? Lana Del Rey? Pitbull? Well, if you happen to be a celebrity, getting a chart-topping A-lister is actually possible. Here, find out which stars have moonlighted as wedding singers for their famous friends. In an interview for our fall cover story, Sofía Vergara told us she put her then-fiancé Joe Manganiello in charge of the first-dance song selection, because "if it were up to me, we'd dance to Pitbull." As it turns out, the Modern Family actress got her wish! Pitbull did perform at the glamorous Florida celebration. "That was a lot of fun. Big congratulations to Joe and Sofía," Pitbull told E! News . "She told her and her girls, 'Hey, stage' and they got up there and they were just having a great time. The mother, the father, all the bridesmaids—which were extremely gorgeous—so it was definitely a blessing to play at that wedding." 01 of 11 John Legend The Grammy Award-winning artist has made singing at parties somewhat of a hobby, starting with his own destination wedding to Chrissy Teigen, where he serenaded his bride with the song he wrote for her, "All of Me," before passing the microphone to Stevie Wonder (who performed "Ribbon in the Sky"). Legend also performed at the weddings of Kanye West and Kim Kardashian and Gabrielle Union and Dwayne Wade, and for charity, at a "wedding" for his dogs, Pippa and Putty, and the nuptials of a couple who had made a donation to said charity. Now, how do we get him to sing at our events?
