Conan O'Brien Officiates Gay Wedding for Staffer on 'Conan' (VIDEO) .............................................................................................................. by Laura Prudom, Nov 4th 2011 aoltv.com In case you hadn't heard, Conan O'Brien decided to " push the envelope" on late night TV last night, when he celebrated the one year anniversary of his TBS show by officiating the marriage between 'Conan' costume designer Scott Cronick and his partner David Gorshein. The ceremony marked the end of O'Brien's visit to New York City, where the comedian hosted 'Late Night' on NBC for 16 years. Apparently, Cronick and Gorshein were already planning to wed while the show was visiting New York, since gay marriage is still not legal in California, but instead of marrying at city hall, O'Brien suggested they perform the ceremony on stage at the Beacon Theater instead. The wedding observed several Jewish traditions, including the use of a chuppah and the breaking of glasses at the conclusion of the ceremony. O'Brien, who was ordained at the Universal Life Church, officiated in front of family, friends and an enthusiastic 'Conan' audience. Cronick asked for his favorite celebrity, Bravo TV executive and 'Watch What Happens Live' host Andy Cohen, to walk him down the aisle, where O'Brien complimented Cronick on his jacket. "You've been with me for years, you've never designed me anything like this!" he joked. Gorshein recited his vows first, tearfully telling Cronick, "Anyone in the world would be happy to wear one of your designs, but no-one is possibly happier than I am to wear your ring and to put this ring on your finger. You are my everything." Visibly moved, Cronick responded, "I vow to fill your every day with so much love. Cameras or no cameras, David, I'm here today, and I am yours forever." After O'Brien pronounced them husband and husband, the couple shared a passionate kiss and greeted their families amid a cloud of confetti, departing on a replica bull pushed by "Ted Turner." (Who needs a limo?) The wedding may have been the first same-sex marriage ever to be performed on television, and whether it was designed as a ratings stunt or simply a favor from one friend to another, it seemed to be a touching and heartfelt experience for everyone involved.
