According to the Huffington Post, the 61-year-old actor attended the wedding of Pamela and Jesse Sargent last weekend with fiancé Emilie Livingston, 31, who is a friend of the bride. 

Pamela and Jesse wanted a Tyrannosaurus rex photoshopped into their wedding photos and asked Goldbloom if he would be a part of it. The couple's photographer, Adam Biesenthal, posted the photo on his website, where it quickly went viral. He revealed that Goldbloom "was a very cool guy" for agreeing to participate in the funny shoot.

After her nuptials, the bride posted the photo on her Facebook page with the caption, "T-Rex chases bridal party... thank God Dr. Ian Malcolm was there to save the day!!" She went on to say, "What an amazing, unbelievable weekend! Thanks to everyone who came to celebrate with us, and thanks Jeff for being a good sport!"

Freaky! Bride Photobombed Husband 11 Years Before They Even Met

Is it fate or just coincidence? In the days leading up to their wedding, British newlyweds Aimee Maiden and Nick Wheeler unearthed a shocking childhood photo that proves their paths crossed 11 years before they officially met in college.

The 1994 snapshot shows the teacher and her soldier husband playing in the sand at Mousehole beach, Cornwall. They didn't speak but they did spend the entire day building sand castles together.

What makes the photo even more baffling is that they lived hundreds of miles apart when they were kids. "I was brought up in Mousehole, Nick and his family didn't even live in Cornwall at the time. "He and his family were down on holiday from Kent and didn't move down permanently to Newlyn until a year later," the bride tells The Telegraph.

In an eerie twist, they ended up getting married at Gulval Church in Mousehole, which is located just a minute's walk away from where the photo was taken.

This Penguin Proposal Will Melt Your Heart

This insanely cute video proves that everything is better with penguins — even a proposal!

When they first started dating, Casey asked her boyfriend Mitch to pick up some costumes for a Halloween party. He surprised her with head-to-toe penguin outfits and these cuddly critters have had special significance for them ever since. So, when the time came to take their relationship to the next level, Mitch knew he wanted to incorporate the pair's favorite animal.

He reached out to the Pittsburgh Zoo, who helped him set up an elaborate scheme so that Casey thought she had won a behind-the-scenes encounter at the penguin exhibit. ShoFilms set up hidden cameras and pretended to be extras in order to capture the moment without ruining the surprise.

Skip to the 3:24 mark to watch the magic unfold:

How sweet and thoughtful was that? Fun fact: Adelie and Gentoo Penguins "propose" by searching for the perfect pebble and placing it at their lover's feet. If she accepts it, she places the pebble in her nest and takes him as her mate.

Gabrielle Union & Dwyane Wade's Adorable Save-the-Date Video

Gabrielle Union and Dwyane Wade are set to walk down the aisle in just a few weeks, and based on their save-the-date video, the wedding is going to be a heartwarming family affair.

TMZ Sports obtained footage of the mini-movie that was sent to their star-studded guest list, which confirms that their big day will take place on August 30th in Miami. In the video, the 32-year-old Miami Heat basketball star enlists the help of his two sons, Zaire and Zion, as well as his nephew, Dahveon, to pop the question. The 41-year-old Being Mary Jane actress' reaction is priceless!

Watch it here:

Dwyane and Union also mailed out traditional paper save-the-dates with a heart motif back in May. According to etiquette maven Amber Harrison of Wedding Paper Divas, other couples thinking of incorporating multimedia elements into their wedding correspondence should follow their lead.

"A couple may be ahead of the tech curve, but not all guests will be receptive to digital invites," she says. "Use a combination of paper elements and digital components (like an optional online RSVP service or corresponding wedding website) so your smartphone-free Grandma won't miss this exciting moment," she adds.

1. Glamping

If the bride is a nature lover, treat her to a weekend in the wilderness with her closest friends. Skip the tents and sleeping on hard rocks, and opt for fully equipped yurts and cabins in some of the country’s most beautiful locations, instead.
