Keanu Reeves was staying at a hotel in Northamptonshire when he was recognized by James Roadnight, 35, a fan of Keanu who happened to be getting married at the same hotel. James approached Keanu and expressed that he liked Keanu's work, then casually invited him to stop by his wedding reception and have a drink. He didn't think he would ever see him again. An hour later, Keanu showed up to take photos with the happy couple and their guests.

James' bride Nikki certainly wasn't expecting her wedding photos to include a star, but Keanu showed up in a t-shirt, black blazer, and big smile on his face to bring some joy to the newly wed couple.

"He was so kind and friendly and congratulated us on our wedding. He was kind enough to do some pictures and our wedding photographer was able to capture some too! Then he took the time to speak to some of our guests and have more photos done!" Nikki told Newsweek.

Nikki admitted everyone was a bit starstruck by Keanu's presence, but he was kind and accommodating and even agreed to take photos with the guests.

"My mum, Jo, took photos and shouted for everyone to yell 'Speed' as she took the photo. We laughed about that as it's one of his older films! We are big fans. I absolutely loved The Matrix movies and really big fans of the John Wick films too! It was so cool!" Nikki shared.

Even if Keanu hadn't shown up, Nikki said her wedding "was absolutely perfect" and it was "the most magical day," but having him stop by and say hello was "just out of this world" and the "start of many more adventures together."

The funny part of this story is, it isn't even Keanu's first time crashing a wedding. In August 2018, he photobombed a couple's wedding as he walked on the sidewalk in New York City.

He was wearing almost the same exact outfit—a black t-shirt, black blazer, and jeans.

Just a month later, he showed up to a couple's wedding at Dream Inn in Santa Cruz, CA and photobombed the happy newlyweds, Leslie and Jarrod. It seems Keanu has a knack for showing up to his fans' weddings and bringing some extra joy to their special day.
