Poor Martina. So brave.

Those look terribly itchy and enflamed, and yet she smiles, in deference to Rule No. 1: Never scratch your pustules on the red carpet.

Luckily for her, she found a cooling salve right before her big moment on-stage:

Yes, that's right, two people got married on-stage while Captain von Train and Fraulein Martina sang at them. Which is fine, and all -- [apparently the couple has a sweet and sad story](https://www.people.com/people/package/article/0,,20267558%5F20583654,00.html?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) \-- but Martina is the one who invited them, and then she went and wore white to the wedding? On their big day? While standing essentially in front of the bride? Girl.

It's a lovely toga and all, but perhaps the pustules would've been a kinder choice.
