IndyCar driver Charlie Kimball tied the knot this weekend with girlfriend Kathleen Thompson, and he had a bit of help from one of his IndyCar competitors. Rather than use a regular minister to preside over the ceremony, Kimball and Thompson asked James Hinchcliffe to do the honors.

Via IndyCar.com:

“It’s something that Charlie, Kathleen and I joked about years ago, and after they got engaged they invited me to dinner and said, ‘Remember how we used to joke about you marrying us?'” Hinchcliffe said, “Well, we’ve thought about it and actually would like you to do it.'”

Hinchcliffe became licensed as a minister by taking an online course, and presided over the ceremony in Indianapolis this past weekend.

“In my mind, it’s about the greatest honor somebody could ask you to do,” Hinchcliffe said, “so, of course, I accepted.”
