There are cool weddings, and then there are weddings overseen by Carrie Brownstein and Amy Poehler.
At a book signing for Carrie Brownstein's new memoir, a young couple asked the star to spontaneously officiate their wedding in Pasadena, California. Kendall Oshiro, 23, and Genevieve Hernandez, 25, knew Brownstein had recently been ordained, one of the audience members told US Weekly. Lucky for them, she said yes.

She married the couple at the Pasadena Presbyterian Church, accompanied by none other than Amy Poehler on the piano ... who actually only knew how to play the first part of "Greensleeves."
Brownstein gave a short, heartfelt speech during the ceremony, which the couple will certainly never forget.
"All of us here are rooting for you," she said. "The way we root for ourselves and the way we root for love to always win out over despair ... we root for the two of you to make each other feel the biggest, strongest, most special you've ever felt."
