One bride and groom tying the knot at the Manchester Town Hall had the surprise of a lifetime when they had the unbelievable honor to meet the Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh.

Video of the royal wedding crashing is here.

The newlyweds told the press that the royal couple spent about 5 minutes with them, and even agreed to pose for photos.

They had no idea such an honor would be bestowed on them, though they did write a playful invite to the Queen, knowing she'd be in town the same time they were getting married.

Apparently, someone did their homework.

“It was bizarre that she knew our names. She said: 'Hello John, Hello Frances',” the newlyweds said.
