The Internet Reacts To Queen Latifah Officiating Weddings During The Grammys

A lot of people cried, others just cringed.

Last night during the 56th Annual Grammy Awards, 34 couples were married by Queen Latifah during Macklemore and Ryan Lewis' performance – Madonna performed as well.

Tumblr could barely handle all the emotions.

After it was cleared up that Queen Latifah was indeed ordained, emotions quickly took over.

HOLD UP IS QUEEN LATIFAH ORDAINED FOR THIS? #GRAMMYs #avctv

THIS IS SO BEAUTIFUL. SORRY. MADONNA COULD HAVE WAITED A SECOND TO ENTER BUT OH MY GOD. #GRAMMYs

Congrats to my parents who got married tonight at the Grammys!!!!!!!!

May have just got a bit teary eyed at Macklemore x Queen Latifah x Madonna. 'Twas a beautiful thang.

I have to say, I was an emotional wreck after the Macklemore/Madonna/Queen Latifah/ceremony of LOVE at the #Grammys. I cried like a baby!!

That was one of the coolest things Ive ever seen on TV. Macklemore & Lewis, Queen Latifah, Mary Lambert & Madonna. #SameLove #GRAMMYs

Seriously, Macklemore & Ryan Lewis, Mary Lambert, Queen Latifah and Madonna's performance of Same Love was beautiful. I had goosebumps...

So many #emotions, #feels, #tears.

MACKLEMORE IS SO INSPIRING. IM GLAD PEOPLE REALIZE LOVE IS LOVE AND SKIN COLOR DOESNT MATTER. We are ALL human. WE ARE ALL EQUAL

#SameLove was incredible. Love to @Macklemore, @RyanLewis, @MaryLambertSing @Madonna & @IAmQueenLatifah for a beautiful performance #GRAMMYs

Anyone else still sobbing over Queen Latifah marrying 34 couples during Macklemore's performance of #SameLove on the #Grammys? #LoveIsLove

My face hurts from smiling. That was one of the coolest things I've ever gotten to see. Much much love. Well done, Grammys.

BOOM! Love and equality – everyone is happy right?

Well... some people weren't quite so moved, feeling the mass wedding was overly gimmicky.

I would be upset if one of the most important days of my life was a political gimmick involving Queen Latifah #weird #Grammys2014

Wanna be a prop in glitterized show-biz performance? Get married at the Grammys! (Am I the only one who finds this tacky?)

I just kinda feel like the marriages at the Grammy's last night were a prop.

Instead of tears, there were cringes-a-plenty.

Macklemore's presence at the Grammy's was really cringe-worthy, and a lot of people in the room knew it, but whatever.

Macklemore/Queen Latifah/weird wedding thing at the Grammy's makes me want to swerve my car into a semi head on in the morning.

But seriously. I'll always love you, Queen Latifah, but I am so embarrassed for you right now.

Thought that I might want to watch the Grammys, but the whole 'Same Love' wedding gimmick is making me cringe.

Conservatives, including Fox News commentator Todd Starnes, saw the display as a direct attack on marriage.

Remember when The Grammys was about music - and not cramming a social agenda down our throats?

Mass Gay weddings performed live at the Grammys...world gone insane..God help us

Grammys say 'we do,' get political with mass wedding. This is the legal way to publicly attack Christianity. http://t.co/CgH1uT43Su

The grammys was a clear attack on Christianity #GRAMMYs #RT

A few people went into the performance bent on disliking it, but the feelings proved too strong.

Dammit, I hate myself for loving that mass wedding at the Grammys.

I thought that wedding thing on the Grammys sounded tacky & horrible, then I watched it and got ridiculously choked up.

So, was the wedding horrible or was everything else except the wedding horrible?

Everything about this grammys was absolutely horrible with the exception of the mass gay wedding performed by queen latifah with madonna

Even if people were unclear on their feelings, everyone agreed on one thing:

All weddings should be officiated by Queen Latifah.

What do you think?
