US President Donald Trump accepted an invitation and surprised a newly-wed couple by attending their wedding reception at golf club in Bedminster in New Jersey on Sunday, CNN reported.

"It was a complete and utter surprise," the groom, PJ Mongelli told CNN. He added that while the couple had sent multiple invitations to President Trump, they did not know if the leader would show up.

While the President had turned up to meet the bride at first, Mr Mongelli requested Mr Trump to greet the guests at the reception, prompting the chants.

The couple then stood on either side of President Trump and chanted "USA! USA!" along with the guests.

"He was such a gentleman. He was aces," the groom added.

This is not the first time that Trump has unexpectedly attended a wedding reception. Around two years ago, the US President, along with the Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, stopped by at a reception at Trump's Mar-a-Lago club in Florida.

"I said to the Prime Minister of Japan, I said, 'c'mon Shinzo, let's go over and say hello'," Trump said while addressing the wedding-goers at that reception.
