It’s been three decades since singers David and Tamela Mann tied the knot and their love story just keeps getting better.

David took to the couple’s joint Instagram on Tuesday to celebrate their marriage milestone and post one of their wedding photos. And of course, the sentiment was aww-worthy.

 

30 years ago today you said yes and made me the happiest man on earth I can’t put in to words how much I Love you Tam I’m great full to do LIFE WITH YOU . HAPPY ANNIVERSARY MY LOVE.

“Thirty years ago today you said yes and made me the happiest man on earth I can’t put into words how much I Love you Tam I’m great full to do LIFE WITH YOU. HAPPY ANNIVERSARY MY LOVE,” the Meet The Browns star wrote. 

The couple met in the mid-’80s when Tamela’s best friend invited her to watch David and his former music group perform. In the beginning, they were just friends, then, as they put it, they became “secret lovers” and the rest was history.

After tying the knot, the couple welcomed two children together, David Jr. and Tia, and they also raised his two daughters from a previous relationship, Porcia and Tiffany, as well as Tamela’s niece, Sonya. 

Here’s to more decades of love and happiness for Mr. and Mrs. Mann!
