Dr Phil has been spotted playing an honored role in a Californian same-sex wedding ceremony between a celebrity-artist and his interior designer partner.

The smiling talk show host, 63, walked his friend Neal Wagner, 40, down the aisle - in place of the groom's father who passed away - before he married Thomas Piscitello in a lavish service at the Vibiana church in downtown Los Angeles.

One guest likened the ceremony to the wedding scene between Sex and The City characters Stanford Blatch and Anthony Marantino, describing it as 'over the top but amazing,' according to TMZ.
