A bride named Grace Gwaltney was taking pictures with her bridesmaids in downtown Pittsburgh on Saturday when Tom Hanks crashed the party.

According to Grace, Tom came up behind them and said, quote, “Hey! My name is Tom Hanks. Can I take a photo with the bride?” She added that she couldn’t help thinking about “Toy Story” when he spoke.

“We were all walking from the hotel to the limo, and out of nowhere, he pops up and just says, ‘My name is Tom Hanks!’” wedding photographer Rachel Rowland said. “‘Can I take a photo with the bride?’ We all started screaming and were pretty much in shock.” https://t.co/CCruIMu08q

The wedding photographer said, quote, “We all lost it. The bridesmaids shuffled out of the limo, and he posed [for] photos and congratulated everyone, and then as fast as he popped in, he was gone. It was just so sweet and fun!”
