I went outside and he was standing there, almost sheepish and shy
One of the bridesmaids was fixing my dress – my husband, James, had accidentally stepped on it as we walked in – when the wedding coordinator came up to me and said, “Oh, you’ve got a special guest outside.” And I thought, “Really? I’ve got family in America. Could some of them have come over as a surprise?”
It was the evening reception and everyone was drinking and dancing. I went outside through the double doors, and there he was, standing looking almost sheepish and shy: Keanu Reeves. My jaw dropped and I said, “Oh my goodness, nice to meet you.” And he said, “Really nice to meet you, too!” So I invited him in, offered him a drink and some food, and we got chatting – I think my five-year-old daughter was trying to climb all over me at the time. He said congratulations on getting married, wished us well and gave me a hug. While we were talking, I turned to the wedding coordinator and said, “Go get James!”
