A very special guest
This is the story of a combination of circumstances.
This Monday, August 22, Nikki and James Roadnight are hosting their wedding reception at the star-studded Fawsley Hall hotel in Northamptonshire, England.
At the establishment's bar, the groom crosses paths with the Matrix
headliner
, who is staying at the same place.
Taking his courage in both hands, James Roadnight will then greet the celebrity and invite him to come and have a drink at their celebration.
"He was very friendly and said he [would come] later," his wife Nikki Roadnight told
Newsweek
Thursday, August 25.
We didn't know if he would or not, but it was cool that my husband talked to him!”
A few hours later, their special guest had responded favorably to the invitation.
“He was kind enough to take some photos and our wedding photographer was able to take some too!
He then took the time to talk to some of our guests and take other photos,” continues Nikki Roadnight.
A photo session that Keanu Reeves is not ready to forget.
“My mother, Jo, took pictures and shouted for everyone to shout '
Speed
' while she took the picture, recalls the young woman.
We laughed about it, because it is one of his oldest films!”
And to admit: “We are big fans.”

Even though it was only a short appearance, the actor obviously hit the mark.
If the bride considers that her wedding was already “perfect” and “magical”, she concludes that this VIP presence made her special day “out of the ordinary” by giving them “something they will remember” for a long time, underlines- she to our Anglo-Saxon colleagues.
This isn't the first time Keanu Reeves has found himself in the middle of a nuptials.
For several years, the star of the Matrix saga, considered by his fans as a very sympathetic personality, drags behind him a reputation of
“weeding crasher”
, in other words of “wedding encruster”.
But he is far from the only celebrity affected by this small nickname, indicates the
Daily Mail
.
Among the most famous, we find actor Tom Hanks, singers Ed Sheeran, Lady Gaga and tennis player Serena Williams.
