Jimmy Kimmel officiated at Jennifer Aniston's secret wedding to Justin Theroux


Jennifer Aniston and Justin Theroux were able to keep their Aug. 5 wedding a secret by disguising it as a humdrum birthday party for Theroux, Howard Stern confirmed on his radio show Monday. He also said that Sia performed at the nuptials and Jimmy Kimmel officiated. Stern, who said he knew the secret beforehand because he was asked to give a speech, also named some other guests, which you can learn about in the Associated Press video below. Having Stern give a speech at your wedding is a pretty big leap of faith, but maybe not as large as letting a proud prankster like Kimmel serve as officiant. Peter Weber
