Keanu Reeves and Winona Ryder May Have Actually Gotten Married While Shooting BRAM STOKER'S DRACULA

Here's an interesting bit of movie trivia that Winona Ryder recently dropped. According to her, she and Keanu Reeves might have actually been married for real while shooting Bram Stoker's Dracula back in 1992. 

In the film, Reeves’ character Jonathan Harker and Ryder’s character Mina Harker get married in a scene set in Romania, and as it turns out director Francis Ford Coppola ended up using a real Romanian priest to marry them.

While promoting their upcoming film Destination Wedding, Ryder and Reeves talked to Entertainment Weekly and reflected on this moment. Ryder said:

"We actually got married in Dracula. No, I swear to god I think we’re married in real life. 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."

Reeves' initial reaction is pretty funny because he plays along as if it's a joke saying, “It’s lovely to see you again" making fun of their long separation as a couple. But then Ryder presses him and Reeves asks, "We said yes?" Then Ryder says:

“Don’t you remember that? It was on Valentine’s Day.”

To which Reeves replies:

"Oh my gosh, we’re married."

Of course, they never got any official legal documentation, so this marriage isn't legally binding, but maybe in the eyes of whatever religious order that priest belonged to, Reeves and Ryder should be celebrating 26 years of marriage!
