What an awesome story....A wedding was taking place in downtown #beaufortsc in 1993. The bride, Mary Dunning, was getting ready to walk down the aisle when she was stopped by Tom Hanks who was in town filming Forrest Gump. He kissed her on the cheek and the wedding photographer took their photo.Mrs. Chapman got an autographed copy of the photo sent to her that said, "Congratulations, The only bride more beautiful was the one I married. I’m just sorry I missed the ceremony! God Bless, Tom Hanks."📸 courtesy Mary Dunning Chapman ... See MoreSee Less
