Comedian and Yellow Springs resident Dave Chappelle

An Ohio couple were in for a pleasant, unexpected surprise last weekend when they got a surprise visitor in one of their engagement pictures.

Jaycee Brammer of Jaycee Marie Photography in Cincinnati was taking pictures of Dayton couple Tommy Saunders and Emily Eldridge just outside Yellow Springs when they decided to take pictures near Yellow Springs Brewery.

It was there they spotted comedian Dave Chappelle, who lives near Yellow Springs. 

They asked him for a photo and the often-reclusive Chappelle politely declined, but apparently had a change of heart and showed up in the photo.

"I had seen a couple of interviews where he openly said that he wasn't into pictures," Brammer said by phone on Wednesday. "But he was very laid back and nice."

She said Chappelle stood nearby after the picture and appeared interested in taking a look.

"He looked over the pictures, laughed and said 'We're going to go viral,'" she said.
