It’s been nearly 20 years since actress Lela Rochon and her husband, famed film director Antoine Fuqua (Training Day) said “I do,” and the couple is celebrating their latest marriage milestone.

In honor of their 19th wedding anniversary, the Waiting to Exhale star took to Instagram to share a throwback photo from their April 1999 wedding day along with a sweet message for her longtime husband. 

“Happy Anniversary to Us #19 . I knew when we met over 20 years ago in #hongkong you were the man for me. I’ll never forget this moment, “Ladies and gentlemen Mr & Mrs. Antoine Fuqua,” she wrote.
