Coldplay just gave one lucky couple an anniversary gift they won't forget by serenading them during an early morning concert in New York on Monday.

Chris Martin and company, performing on NBC's TODAY Show as part of the breakfast program's concert series, pulled the lucky couple to the front of the crowd for an acoustic performance of track "Til Kingdom Come" during their soundcheck.

A fan in attendance documented the moment—and it looks like the sweet couple are pretty stunned by Martin's personal tribute.

Hundreds of fans braved the early morning chill to watch the band perform various tracks from their latest album A Head Full of Dreams.

See soundcheck performances of the Beyonce-assisted "Hymn for the Weekend"—sadly, minus Beyonce—and "Adventure of a Lifetime" below:

But for fans of Coldplay's older material, don't fret. They also threw it back to 2000 with one of their biggest hits, "Yellow." Watch:

Now that's one way to kickstart your Monday.
