Two Stranger Things fans were treated to a wedding in the Upside Down, thanks to star David Harbour.
The actor, who plays chief of police Jim Hopper in the Netflix show, married the fans after they challenged him on Twitter.

David kept his word, officiating the ceremony in full costume over the weekend.

These included making sure the wedding didn't clash with the filming schedule of Stranger Thing's third season, that he would be allowed to read a love letter at the wedding and get the first slice of the cake after it was cut.
He also put in another condition, that the tweet had to be retweeted over 125,000 times.
This was no problem for the couple and David kept his word.

The act of goodwill isn't David's first either - in October last year, he posed for a student's school photo after she contacted him on Twitter.
He also made a few outlandish requests alongside demanding 25,000 retweets, including wearing a jumper with her school's logo and holding a trombone.
