Dwayne Johnson officiates surprise wedding for fan
Dwayne Johnson gave a longtime fan a wedding to remember by becoming the officiant at his surprise nuptials.
The action star took time out of his busy press schedule for new film San Andreas on Saturday (16May15) to shock Nick Mundy, a comedian and reporter for online movie channel Screen Junkies, and take charge of his wedding ceremony.
Mundy has interviewed Johnson a number of times over the years, and
subsequently struck up a relationship with the actor. He arrived to
the press day planning to film a Screen Junkies episode with
Johnson, but the actor, along with Mundy's fiancee Dilara Karabas
and Screen Junkies producers, had other plans.
The video of Mundy and Karabas' ceremony, which was posted on
YouTube.com on Thursday (21May15), begins as Johnson's
representatives tell the reporter the superstar doesn't have time
to film a planned sketch, and as the groom tells the cameraman that
he's annoyed the shoot fell through, Johnson, who received his
licence as an ordained minister specifically for Mundy's wedding,
shows up behind him and leads him to a room set up for the
ceremony.
Mundy's shock continued as he spotted his family and friends
waiting for him, prompting Johnson to explain, "It's a pleasure for
me to do this. It's an honour for me to do this. I am officially
ordained by the state of California - yeah, I go all out because
you're my bestie."
Johnson held hands with Mundy as they walked down the aisle, and
during the ceremony, the former wrestler couldn't help but promote
his new film before pronouncing them man and wife, stating,
"Nothing is more powerful than your union, carries more force than
a bolt of lightning, or even the world's largest earthquake, much
like you'll see in San Andreas, hitting theatres May 29th."
Although Mundy and Karabas are legally married, they are still
planning on having a larger ceremony this autumn (15).
