The music industry's top night turned into the big day for 34 couples on Sunday as Madonna and other stars presided over a mass wedding in a celebration of gay marriage. Members of the audience exchange vows during Macklemore Baker Mayfield Jersey , Ryan Lewis, Mary Lambert and Madonna's performance of the song "Same Love" at the 56th Grammy Awards at the Staples Center in Los Angeles Macklemore (L), Ryan Lewis (2nd R), Mary Lambert (2nd L), Madonna (C) embrace on stage after performing the song "Same Love" while Queen Latifa (R) officiated over a mass wedding at the 56th Grammy awards Members of the audience react after exchanging vows as Queen Latifa officiated over a mass wedding at the 56th Grammy Awards at the Staples Center in Los Angeles, California, January 26, 2014 The 34 couples -- some same-sex, some opposite-sex and diverse in race and appearance -- exchanged rings before the Grammys stage at Los Angeles' Staples Center, which was momentarily transformed into a brightly lit church with a gospel choir. The couples' wedding serenade was "Same Love," performed by hip-hop duo Macklemore & Ryan Lewis. The Grammy-nominated song has been embraced by marriage equality campaigners as momentum builds in a growing number of countries and US states to allow same-sex partners to tie the knot. Macklemore and Lewis, who racked up four Grammys including the prize for best new artist, were joined halfway through their song by one of the gay community's most enduring icons -- Madonna. Sporting a white suit and cowboy hat, Madonna sang the high-energy chorus of her 1986 song "Open Your Heart." The marriages were made official by Queen Latifah, who is authorized to perform weddings in California. "When we say music has the power to bring people together at the Grammys, we mean it," a visibly moved Queen Latifah told the audience. "Tonight, we celebrate the commitment to love by all of these beautiful couples," she said. "We are gathered together here to celebrate love and harmony in every key and every color." French electro duo Daft Punk, who won record of the year, praised the wedding as "fantastic" in a message read by their songwriter. Daft Punk, who wear helmets as part of a robot motif, rarely speak in public. "As elegant and as classy as the Grammy has ever been, is the moment when we... saw all those wonderful marriages and that same love," said Paul Williams, sharing a "message from the robots" who stood next to him in costume as they accepted the award. "It was the height of fairness and love and the power of love for all people, at any time, in any combination," he said. The New York Times, which reported on the mass wedding shortly before the ceremony, said that the Grammys' producer, Ken Ehrlich, approached Macklemore and Lewis about the idea after learning that the duo's concerts have generated on-stage marriage proposals. A casting agency recruited couples, initially telling them only that the wedding would take place on live television and insisting that they sign confidentiality agreements so that they would not even tell their families, the newspaper said. Ehrlich was quoted as saying that the couples stayed in aisles near the audience out of concern it would be seen as "exploitive" if they went on stage. US awards ceremonies have increasingly embraced gay rights in recent years, with the Oscars stereotypically viewed as a top television event for the gay community. In 2001, rap superstar Eminem, under fire for his use of anti-gay epithets, performed a duet at the Grammys with the openly gay Elton John. Seventeen US states and the capital Washington allow gay marriage, and opinion polls show that a majority of Americans support same-sex couples' right to wed, a rapid turnaround in just the past decade. Same-sex marriage is legal in all or part of 16 other countries. (Agencies) BEIRUT, Oct. 31 (Xinhua) -- Lebanese President Michel Aoun on Monday asked Prime Minister Tammam Salam's government to continue working as a caretaker government until the new one is formed, the National News Agency (NNA) reported. The directorate general of the presidency issued a statement, declaring that the president expressed his thanks to the prime minister and all ministers, and requested that the cabinet acts as a caretaker until the formation of a new one, the report said. Lebanon's constitution states that when a new president is elected, the in-office cabinet is considered dissolved and the president immediately engages in parliamentary consultations to name the new prime minister to form the new cabinet. Earlier on Monday, former army chief Michel Aoun was sworn in as Lebanon's 13th president, ending a vacancy that lasted almost two and a half years. Lebanon had been without a president since May 2014, when former President Michel Suleiman's six-year term ended.
