Noted best friend to President Barack Obama [2], former Vice President Joe Biden, is apparently also an ordained minister. Biden, a devout Catholic, officiated a wedding between two Democratic National Committee staffers on May 27, and one Instagram of the ceremony has predictably gone viral.
Biden led the wedding ceremony [3] for the former DNC Finance Chair Henry Muñoz III and his now-husband Kyle Ferrari, according to People. Melanie Griffith, an actress, is a friend of the couple and shared a photo [4] of the nuptials on Monday. It's not the first time Biden has officiated a same-sex wedding.
Proud to marry Brian and Joe at my house. Couldn't be happier, two longtime White House staffers, two great guys. pic.twitter.com/0om1PT7bKh [5]

In August of 2016, Biden presided over the wedding [7] of two then-White House staffers: Director of Oval Operations Brian Mosteller and his partner Joe Mahshie, a trip coordinator for Michelle Obama.
Griffith's Instagram post of the lovely moment has more than 3,000 "likes." Plenty of people commented on the post to congratulate the couple.
