- Guests at a wedding held at the Adler Planetarium in Chicago were stunned when Ed Sheeran and DJ Martin Garrix walked into the reception and performed for the newlyweds and attendees.
- The surprise began after the bride’s brother, Mike Kindelin, sent a direct message to Martin Garrix asking if he could crash his sister’s wedding, a request the artists accepted before arriving from nearby shows.
- Videos and the artists’ Instagram posts show the pair performing songs including “Repeat It,” with Sheeran also singing “Perfect” and dancing with the bride and groom.

- Attendees and the couple called the moment unforgettable and the story has drawn wide human-interest coverage for how social media and on-the-spot logistics can turn a private event into a viral experience.
