David Harbour arrives at The BAFTA Los Angeles Tea Party held at Four Seasons Hotel Los Angeles at Beverly Hills on January 6, 2018 in Los Angeles, California. Michael Tran—FilmMagic  by [Raisa Bruner](https://time.com/author/raisa-bruner/)  ## Raisa Bruner Jan 17, 2018 3:59 PM UTC If you want a celebrity to officiate your wedding, you just have to ask. And get a lot of retweets. That’s the case for one fan of the [_Stranger Things_](http://time.com/5062402/stranger-things-hopper-photoshop-battle/) actor [David Harbour](http://time.com/4653059/stranger-things-best-drama-ensemble-sag-awards/), who reached out to the star on Twitter with a plea for the show’s own sheriff Jim Hopper to be the officiant on the happiest day of her life. “What would it take to get @DavidKHarbour to be the Officiant at my wedding in September?” she mused, sending her request into the internet ether on Monday. The tweet did not fall on deaf ears. On Tuesday night, [Harbour himself](http://time.com/4470027/stranger-things-david-harbour-interview-season-2/) had a response. And it looks like he’s willing to do the honors — but the price could be, for some, steep. “125k retweets,” he explained of his conditions for officiating. “Provided date works with \[season 3\] shooting schedule, I will get ordained and perform ceremony.” And that’s not all: “I get to read an esteemed love letter of my choosing, and after the cake is officially cut, I get the very first piece,” he declared. So far his response has garnered over 76 thousand retweets, suggesting the lucky bride is well on her way to getting Harbour to preside. Assuming, of course, she’s OK with his requirements. > [](https://twitter.com/ErickaElizabth/status/953040090711937029) > [](https://twitter.com/DavidKHarbour/status/953450886969286656) ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/5105836/david-harbour-wedding/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/5105836/david-harbour-wedding/"},"headline":"Stranger Things' David Harbour Has a Few Conditions Before He Officiates a Fan's Wedding","datePublished":"2018-01-17T15:59:11.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:49:48.778Z","description":"All of the cake.","url":"https://time.com/5105836/david-harbour-wedding/","keywords":["Newsfeed","Television","viral","Stranger Things"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt0a4d69e98450ea3e/6988f875bc6cfcd5353e4ac5/david-harbour.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Raisa Bruner","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/raisa-bruner/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt0a4d69e98450ea3e/6988f875bc6cfcd5353e4ac5/david-harbour.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"The BAFTA Los Angeles Tea Party - Arrivals","caption":"The BAFTA Los Angeles Tea Party - Arrivals","creditText":"Michael Tran—FilmMagic","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/5105836/david-harbour-wedding/","name":"Stranger Things' David Harbour Has a Few Conditions Before He Officiates a Fan's Wedding"}}]}] ```
