This can also be translated as incidentally, by chance, randomly, unexpectedly, suddenly, accident, fortuity, or by coincidence.

素敵な偶然 is a common way to express serendipity in Japanese.
The first two characters mean nice, lovely, dreamy, beautiful, great, fantastic, superb, or cool.

In the middle is a possessive article that connects these words/ideas.
