Miller told The Huffington Post that she told the couple to let a jogger pass and paused the Central Park photo session, but the jogger approached Ryan and Elisabeth, took off his hat and "leaned right into the group and said 'Hi, I'm Tom Hanks.'"

Hanks shook hands with the couple and kissed the bride's hand. The couple invited the actor to their reception, but he politely declined.

The couple did get to take a few selfies, though, one of which Hanks posted to social media.

"He also said he's an ordained minister if they needed to get married right now, but they were already married," Miller told Today.com.

"I don't think I've ever taken pictures so fast," Miller said. "I took, like, a thousand pictures."

Hanks gave the pair his congrats before continuing his jog.
