Shenice Beirne said she was already running 20 minutes late to her ceremony in Gloucester, England, when their vintage Beauford car she rented broke down on the side of a country road.

"After borrowing the chauffeur's phone and ringing a couple of taxis who were extremely unhelpful what do I do? Yes I get out on a lane and hitch hike!" Shenice wrote in a Facebook post.

The trio reportedly waved down passing cars for 10 to 15 minutes on the backroads of Gloucester before a couple stopped and asked if they needed help.

Matt and Michelle Moore happily agreed to take the group of women to their ceremony. Shenice made sure to get a picture with the couple when they finally arrived at the church.

"I honestly can not thank them enough for stopping and taking the time out of their afternoon to give us a lift to the church. I am ever so grateful!" Shenice said.
