Cassie Warren, 25, and her fiance Jesse Jones, 23, accidentally sent their aunt and uncle a wedding invite to their old address.

"We got the invitation back in another envelope. On the outside of the envelope, it said 'live long and prosper,'" Warren told ABC News. And the original invitation was enclosed with a note on the front and $20.

"I wish I knew you -- this is going to be a blast. Congratulations -- go have dinner on me. I've been married for 40 years -- it gets better with age," the anonymous sender wrote.

"I saw the note I was just surprised and blessed that she would do that for a stranger," Warren said. "Jesse was confused at first too -- [he wondered] why someone was sending us money, then I read the message to him, and he was shocked and grateful."
