If it wasn't just a joke, many One Direction fans would have been broken hearted as member Harry Styles made an Instagram marriage proposal.

The British heartthrob made a video for the bride-to-be, Tash Gershfield, jokingly begging her to ditch her groom, fiancé James at the alter and instead run away with him.

According to E! News, the bride chatted about her big wedding day surprise. She explained, "I'm a massive One Direction fan, and Harry is my favorite and always has been."

She added, "During my husband James' speech, he told me he wanted to put me through a little test to see how much I really loved him. He then got my friend Alex to project the video of Harry up on the wall for all 250 guests to see."

In the Instagram videos posted, Harry Styles tells the bride that she doesn't have to go through with the wedding.

Gershfield revealed, "[Harry] mentions in the video how annulments are cheap these days and easily done," adding, "and [asks me] to meet him at Orli [a popular restaurant] in Borehamwood, which is in North London."

In the short clips Styles tells her that he will be waiting there for three hours and that id she doesn't come. He'll understand.

She confessed, "As this video was being played my jaw was on the floor, and all the guests were in shock too," adding, "Every single guest was shouting, 'Go! Go!' and then the microphone was handed to me...The first thing I said was simply, 'Can you play that again?'"

Tash Gershfield explained that her husband James then "asked me what I wanted to do: Stay or go," and she knew "eventually, I had to answer...Of course, knowing it was a little joke, I stayed and everyone cheered."

Even though she will not bring running away to be with Harry Styles, the newlywed admitted that she would still "love to meet" the 1D member.
