As if it wasn’t made clear by Sleepless in Seattle or You’ve Got Mail, Tom Hanks is clearly a romantic at heart.
A newly married couple found out firsthand last weekend when they got married on Santa Monica Beach. After the ceremony, they were approached by Tom Hanks, who asked for pictures with them. (Yes, Hanks asked for her picture, not the other way around.)
Other guests at the wedding filmed the entire encounter between Hanks and the wedding party:
The couple, Tashia and Diciembre Farries, told KTLA that they “got the whole family together and next, Tom Hanks comes through the crowd and said, ‘Hey, I just had to stop and see these beautiful brides.’ When he asked for a photo with the happy couple, he also said, “It was one of the most beautiful ceremonies he has seen and he stayed with us for about five minutes and had a good positive chat.”
This is so beautiful. When I got married, not a single member of the Toy Story cast showed up to compliment me or take pictures with me. Not Tom Hanks, not Tim Allen, not Annie Potts, not Joan Cuasck. No one! In retrospect, I’m a little pissed off about it now.
Nevertheless, this is a very nice gesture and a nice memory for the newlyweds. (Her wedding album will also be fun showing people down the line.) Hanks’ next movie, Finch, premieres on Apple TV + November 5th.
