"This is a once-in-a-life chance for you and your partner to be married or your vows renewed by the legendary writer, director, and Provincetown 'filth elder' John Waters," the auction listing states. "John will officiate an intimate, private ceremony for up to 10 guests including the married couple, ensuring the moment is personal, unforgettable, and delightfully offbeat. If you're tying the knot, John will even provide a 10-minute premarital counseling session beforehand, because he takes marrying couples seriously."

The Frameline Award, which has not been given out since 2019, is given to a person or entity that has made a major contribution to LGBTQ+ representation in film, television, or the media arts.

The event will also feature a screening of Waters's 1994 classic , starring Kathleen Turner, with live commentary from Waters and Peaches Christ.

I have never been in drag professionally, but with this little sticks-and-stones gift record to bad children everywhere, I channel Little Cindy's voice and aura, even stumbling over the exact words she did on the original 45rpm version.
