Nearly two decades and three children later, Jay Z and Beyoncé are as crazy in love today as they were when they first met.

The ’03 Bonnie and Clyde have evolved both professionally and personally. Despite the trials and tribulations in the marriage, which they’ve both been open about in their music, The Carters have emerged stronger and wiser. In honor of their 11-year anniversary today, here’s a look at eleven favorite photos chronicling their love story.

01

Jay Z and Beyoncé wed in a private ceremony at their 13,500-square-foot penthouse in New York City on April 4, 2008. Since then, four has been a significant number for the couple. They’ve even gotten the roman numerals tattooed on both of their ring fingers.
