One lucky couple got a “surprise” guest during their wedding.

Newlyweds Elizabeth and Ryan were at the Central Park in New York when Tom Hanks “appeared out of nowhere” to congratulate them. Their wedding photographer, Meg Miller, captured the felicitous moments and shared them on social media.

The “Sully” actor, 60, was jogging along the park on Sunday when he spotted the joyous couple.

“Yesterday’s wedding was so beautiful! Elisabeth and Ryan, you planned one amazing celebration,” Miller wrote on Instagram. “The icing on the cake was @tomhanks stopping in Central Park to wish them congratulations.”

Hanks also posted his selfie with the lucky couple on his Instagram account.

“Elizabeth and Ryan! Congrats and blessings!” he captioned the selfie.

Hanks previously gatecrashed weddings —when he was filming “Forrest Gump” in 1993, he honked his horn and extended his warm wishes to Mary Dunning Chapman, a bride who was about to get hitched in Beaufort, South Carolina. She took pictures with the actor and sent them to him, Beaufort Online reported.

Later, Hanks signed one and returned it to them with this caption, “Congratulations! The only bride more beautiful was the one I married…I’m just sorry I missed the ceremony! God Bless, Tom Hanks.”
