While promoting their new romcom, Destination Wedding, Winona Ryder and Keanu Reeves came to the realization that they may have been legally married on the set of Dracula.
In a case of romcom meets real life, Ryder, while talking to Entertainment Weekly on the Destination Wedding promotional tour, mentioned that a real Romanian priest had been used during filming, and the two exchanged vows.
“We actually got married in Dracula. No, I swear to god I think we’re married in real life,” Ryder said. “In that scene, Francis [Ford Coppola] used a real Romanian priest. We shot the master and he did the whole thing. So I think we’re married.”
While Reeves took the revelation in his stride, jokingly saying that “it’s lovely to see you again,” to Ryder, she insisted that they both said their “I dos.”
Reeves then queried whether they “said yes,” to which Ryder responded, “Don’t you remember that? It was on Valentine’s Day.”
That left Reeves with just one conclusion: “Oh my gosh, we’re married.”
Whether the 25-year marriage will be legally binding is something that remains to be seen. But you can live vicariously through their next on-screen romance in Destination Wedding, which releases August 31. In it, the two play wedding guests with a cynical view on love, and clash in hilarious fashion.
Alternatively, you can throw on Bram Stoker’s Dracula, and relive their ’90s gothic romance in all its glory.
