A recent social media post offered a glimpse into a lasting Hollywood partnership, marking a significant marital milestone with both style and sentiment.
The celebratory image featured the wife captivating in a sophisticated black lace cocktail dress, perfectly accessorized, while her husband complemented her in a crisp, classic white suit. The photograph, shared to commemorate their 46th wedding anniversary, was accompanied by a simple, affectionate caption: “Happy Anniversary to my forever date.”
The post quickly drew an enthusiastic response from followers, with comments praising the couple’s appearance and offering warm congratulations on their enduring union.
The celebration continued with a nostalgic touch, as a second post featured a throwback video from their 20th anniversary. In the clip, the husband delivered a heartfelt toast, humorously recalling how his mother-in-law once compared his then-fiancée to the iconic comedienne Lucille Ball. He elaborated on that comparison, expressing deep admiration for his wife’s humor, beauty, and intelligence.
“Looking back,” he said in the video, “not only are you funny like Lucille Ball, gorgeous beyond belief and smarter than most people I’ve ever met, but you’ve been just a fantastic wife, a great mother to our children, and my best friend.” He concluded his speech with a forward-looking promise, expressing excitement for their future together.
The couple, who first met in their youth and married in the late 1970s, are parents to four adult children and grandparents to eight.
In a previous interview, the wife shared insights into the foundation of their long marriage, emphasizing constant companionship and communication. “We have not been away from each other for two weeks in all our years of marriage,” she noted. Her advice included never parting on negative terms, maintaining a sense of mystery, and consistently nurturing fun and excitement in the relationship.
