Nobody was injured in the incident, but the Jeep Grand Cherokee was badly disabled, leaving the couple and their two children no way to get to the Town Hall where the nuptials were scheduled to take place.

That's when Officer Cody Matthews offered to give them a ride to the big event in his patrol vehicle.

According to the New York Post, Matthews even acted as an officiant in the ceremony, and signed the couple's wedding certificate.
