April 4, 2018, marks a milestone 10 years of marriage for Mr. and Mrs. Carter. For a couple whose every move is photographed, publicized, and documented, it can be hard to sift through all the memories and pick the most epic ones. In honor of their anniversary, we gave it a shot, and here are 10 of some of their most unforgettable moments together.

01
Best Baecation

In June 2016, the couple went on a Hawaii getaway and the Carters looking carefree on their bikes is too cute for words!

Best Moment With Blue

At the MTV Video Music Awards in 2014, Beyoncé was celebrated with the Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award and her family was there to cheer her own as she took the stage to perform and to collect her accolade. Although it was definitely the Queen Bey’s night, she and JAY-Z’s daughter stole the show and the spotlight while she was on stage with her parents.

Best On-Stage Moment

It was hard to narrow down our absolute favorite on-stage moment from Bey and Jay but at the 6th annual BET awards in 2006 when the two hit the stage to perform “Dejá Vu” from her second studio album, their chemistry solidified their icon status in our hearts and minds.

Best Red Carpet Moment

In 2014 on the MET Gala red carpet, Beyoncé had a little wardrobe malfunction on the red carpet when she lost her ring. Luckily JAY-Z was able to find it but instead handing it back to her, he staged a mock proposal for the cameras by slipping the ring back into place on his wife’s finger. Awww!

Best Halloween Costume

There’s not really a couple around that slays Halloween costumes quite like the rapper and the singer. In 2016, the pair channeled the 80s for their look and we can definitely say that it was picture perfect!
