Lance Bass is set to officiate Vanderpump Rules stars Jax Taylor and Brittany Cartwright's upcoming wedding, E! News reported on Friday, June 21. Lisa Vanderpump was allegedly going to officiate, but the couple had to make other arrangements when they learned the restauranteur wouldn't be able to make it to their nuptials in the wake of her mother's sudden death.
Lance, 40, is close friends with Lisa, 58, and happily took over the role for his friend so that she could fly back to London and help arrange her mom's funeral.
"Lance Bass was asked to officiate the wedding due to Lisa having to fly back to the UK to deal with her family matters. Lisa has told Jax and Brittany that it's unlikely she will attend their wedding and arranged for Lance to fulfill the duties," a source told the outlet.
Jax, 39, and Brittany, 30, feel "really fortunate and excited" to have Lance step in since the decision was so "last minute."
