NEW YORK –- Tom Hanks made a couple's wedding photo shoot even more special when he broke free from his jog through Central Park and took a moment to congratulate the lovebirds.

The "Sully" actor shook their hands, kissed the bride before posing for pictures with them. The encounter was captured on video and photos, including on Hanks' Instagram account.

"Ryan you're a lucky man," Hanks told them. "Elizabeth you're a lucky woman."

While the Academy Award winner respectfully declined an invite to the wedding, he offered to marry them if their minister bailed.

"I am an ordained minister, if the guy cancels just let me know," Hanks joked.

He later posted the selfie of the couple and him and wished them many blessings.

And a similar situation just happened to Fox 13's own newlyweds, Danica Lawrence and Jeff McAdam.

Their first day as a married couple, they ran into Hanks in Los Angeles.
