A bride unexpectedly had her first look with Tom Brady instead of the groom.

Just hours before her wedding ceremony in Boston began on Saturday, Nov. 7, Lauren Andriolo was getting ready at The Langham when the room began “buzzing” with excitement. Her bridesmaid’s husband, Jake, had spotted the former New England Patriots quarterback, 49, in the luxury hotel. As a lifelong Pats fan, Lauren, 30, couldn’t believe it.

“It was a whirlwind from start to finish but it was some added excitement before our ceremony for sure,” she tells PEOPLE.

Brady just happened to be staying at the same hotel and was in town that weekend for Rob Gronkowski’s induction into the Patriots Hall of Fame. The former tight end, 37, received his official red jacket at a ceremony outside Gillette Stadium in Foxborough on Saturday, with a special halftime recognition ceremony following during the Patriots’ home game the next day.

Wearing his own Patriots Hall of Fame red jacket, Brady supported his longtime teammate on stage Saturday, and worked in the broadcast booth for Fox Sports during Sunday’s game against the Green Bay Packers. But before Brady left Boston for Foxborough, he took a few minutes to make Lauren’s big day extra special.

“I caught him on the same floor as my getting-ready suite right before he had to head to Foxborough for Saturday’s ceremony,” Lauren says.

The makeup artist, Celena Hanson, wasn’t finished getting Lauren dolled up but quickly glued on some lashes and lined her lips before the robe-clad bride jumped out of the makeup chair and rushed out the door to meet Brady at the end of the corridor.

“He obliged a Boston bride lifelong Patriots fan with a photo before saying ‘I do,’ ” Lauren tells PEOPLE. “It was a quick interaction but he offered a quick congratulations and a wonderful wedding day before my first look with my husband.”

She adds, “Meeting Tom just added to the excitement and buzz of the day.”
