Phuoc and HangAn Australian couple wowed 270 wedding guests with their surprise reception entrance.
As Teriyaki Boyz's "Tokyo Drift" from The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift played, the newlyweds drove into their reception ballroom in electric toy sports cars. As they zoomed onto the dance floor, their friends and family screamed in shock and excitement. The applause grew louder when the groom, Phuoc, proceeded to drift around his bride, Hang.
The couple met through mutual friends, and went above and beyond to rock their recent reception in Lidcombe, New South Wales. Footage of the wedding car race, recorded by Mitchell Pedavoli, currently has more than 28 million views and 3 million likes on TikTok. Even ESPN and Barstool Sports reposted the video.
"The audience absolutely went wild, it was so good," Pedavoli, a car inspector, tells PEOPLE.
The groom customized the underside of the white cars with bright neon lights that changed colors, making for an even cooler entrance. When Phuoc and his wife reached their wedding party, they were showered with golden confetti, which their groomsmen and bridesmaids happily popped into the air.
"Phuoc is very much into car drifting as you can tell by his skills," Pedavoli says, adding that the couple only had "one shot" at perfecting the entrance.
Phuoc eventually pulled up to Hang in the center of the dance floor. They parked before sharing a sweet kiss.
