Newlyweds Ellen DeGeneres and Portia De Rossi turned down offers from George Michael and Justin Timberlake to sing at their summer wedding in favor of a little known singer.

The pop superstars both offered to perform, with Timberlake going so far as planning to pen a new song especially for the two brides. But, when the couple chose to scale their wedding plans back to a more intimate family affair, the idea of inviting big name stars to perform in their garden seemed a little odd.

DeGeneres says, “We called and disinvited everyone. They totally understood.”

Instead, she asked Joshua Radin to sing at the wedding: “He was fantastic and was so thrilled and honored.”
