American actor Michael Douglas and his wife, Welsh actress Catherine Zeta-Jones, celebrated their wedding anniversary – exactly twenty-five years ago, the couple exchanged vows of lifelong devotion.

During this time, the couple welcomed two children: daughter Carys and son Dylan.

Despite long-standing rumors of potential crises in their relationship, the pair continues to demonstrate deep affection and love that has not faded over a quarter of a century.

To mark this special occasion, the actress shared a touching post on Instagram, accompanied by archival photographs. Among them were shots from their 2000 wedding as well as a picture taken at the moment of their first meeting.

«The intoxicating scent of flowers, the glow of candlelight, the loud Welsh choir – and you, looking at me in that way only you can… I love you today just as I did back then», Catherine Zeta-Jones wrote.

Michael Douglas also expressed his feelings via social media. In his short but heartfelt message, he wrote:

«Happy 25th anniversary, my dear Catherine. Who would have thought? With all my love, Michael».

For context, Douglas and Zeta-Jones first met at the Deauville Film Festival in 1998. In 1999, during a New Year’s trip to Aspen, Colorado, the couple announced their engagement. Their wedding took place in 2000 at New York’s Plaza Hotel.
