Nine months ago, David Harbour told a stranger that he would officiate her wedding. This weekend the Stranger Things star made good on his promise.
In January, a Stranger Things fan asked what it would take to get Jim Hopper to officiate her wedding.
What would it take to get @DavidKHarbour to be the Officiant at my wedding in September?!

Harbour said that if the woman got 125,000 retweets on her Twitter request that he would indeed officiate her wedding.
125k retweets. Provided date works with s3 shooting schedule, I will get ordained and perform ceremony. I get to read an esteemed love letter of my choosing, and after the cake is officially cut, I get the very first piece. #allthecakes https://t.co/rSku8qD7uT

Less than 24 hours later, @ErickaElizabth had surpassed the goal of 125K because the internet makes dreams come true.
Dammit. Not even 24hours. You’re kidding me. @ErickaElizabth DM me please to get the ball rolling. I’m making it seriously hard next time, internet, this is not over between us… https://t.co/Ht0kDCl5hz

Harbour made some stipulations about his appearance, including reading “an esteemed love letter” of his choice and getting the first slice of wedding cake even before the bride and groom.

On Saturday, Harbour was in attendance to officiate the wedding dressed as the Chief of Police of Hawkins, Indiana.
Hey internet. I know it’s been awhile. I retreated. Needed some space. You probably get it. But I’ve been thinking about ya in the interim. And all your retweets. And so me and some fun folks in Springfield, Illinois made good on our promise we made all those months ago. pic.twitter.com/fZK8zNMQSi

Let’s hope that Jim Hopper stayed at the wedding long enough to dance.
Season 3 of Stranger Things has been delayed and won’t be available for your binging pleasure until the summer of 2019.

“It’s a handcrafted show,” Netflix programming executive Cindy Holland said in July. “The Duffer Brothers and Shawn Levy, they understand the stakes are high. They want to deliver something bigger and better than last year. I think it’s going to be a fantastic season. It will be worth the wait.” So this wedding photo is as close as we’ll get to seeing Chief Hopper for the immediate future.
