During the recent press tour for Winona Ryder and Keanu Reeves' new romantic drama Destination Wedding, Ryder confessed that she believes she accidentally got married to Keanu Reeves on the set of Bram Stoker's Dracula back in 1992.

Ryder claims that while shooting the scene where Mina (Ryder) and Jonathan (Reeves) get married, director Francis Ford Coppola hired a real Romanian priest and shot it in a Greek Orthodox Church.

Because Coppola filmed a master shot of the wedding scene - that's a full, unbroken take where the entire scene is performed - Ryder and Reeves literally had an interrupted, not-so-fake wedding with a real priest in a real church.

To make things even funnier, the scene was apparently filmed on Valentine's Day, and upon learning of this revelation from Ryder, Reeves simply quipped, "Oh my gosh, we're married."

Coppola himself backed up Ryder's claim, adding, "When we were all done, we realised that Keanu and Winona really are married as a result of this scene and this ceremony."

Considering how many of their fans continue to "ship" them in real life, isn't that just lovely?
