On Wednesday, Ed Sheeran performed his best Adam Sandler impersonation when he crashed a wedding and quickly became the entertainment.

The 24-year-old British singer-songwriter was the surprise guest at newlyweds’ Kya and Matt Debono’s Sydney, Australia, wedding.

"Just surprised this lovely couples first dance," he wrote on Instagram. “Available for weddings, birthdays and bar mitzvah’s, contact your local super market for details.”

Sheeran’s appearance was arranged by KISS 1065 radio hosts Kyle & Jackie O after the couple admitted on-air that they were struggling to afford a wedding after the bride, a mother of two, lost her mother to suicide in 2012.

The radio station teamed up with the Sydney Bridal Expo to give Kya and Matt a dream $60,000 wedding — with Ed Sheeran, who happened to be on tour in Australia at the time, serenading them for their first dance.

Sheeran sang his hit single “Thinking Out Loud,” the song the couple had previously picked as their choice for their first dance.

The couple couldn’t hide their surprise when the singer showed up.

"The shock and then joy on the bride’s face is priceless," read a summary of the radio station’s video. “There wasn’t a dry eye in the crowd as Ed Sheeran gave a genuine and beautifully flawless acoustic performance.”
