Nicole Kidman has been happily married to Keith Urban for almost 18 years – and the couple are still very much in love and supportive of each other as the day they first met.

The couple tied the knot on June 25, 2006, at Cardinal Cerretti Memorial Chapel church in Sydney, Australia, and Nicole wore a beautiful wedding gown.

Her custom bridal dress was a Balenciaga creation, made for her by Nicolas Ghesquière featuring a statement puff sleeve on one shoulder, trimmed with delicate ruffles.

The gentle sweetheart neckline complemented the feminine design and Nicole looked flawless, choosing to wear her hair in ringlets and adding a chic bridal veil.

The dress reportedly cost $20,000, but it appears it was money well spent as Nicole revealed she will one day pass it on to her daughters.

"It’s the most exquisite dress and it is so beautiful," she told E! News in 2015.

"Nicolas [Ghesquière] made it for me and it is wrapped in special paper and it will be passed on to whichever daughter wants to wear it."

She added: "I still have so many of my dresses. I treat them as you would a painting because that’s what they are—they’re just in a different form."

In April, Nicole reflected on the romantic day and revealed she had a 'pinch me' moment before the candle-lit ceremony.

"I remember being in Sydney and driving down the street and I was with my dad, who's obviously not around now, and he was in the car with me," she told People.

"We were driving to the church and there were so many people on the street, sort of celebrating us."

Nicole added: "It was just one of the most emotional things in my life… It really was an extraordinary day."

Southern Living reported that the couple did not ask for wedding gifts, instead, they were content with donations to Sydney's Children's Hospital.

Nicole and Keith now share two children, Sunday Rose, 15, and Faith Margaret, 13.

Nicole also has two adopted children from her previous relationship with Tom Cruise, Connor, 29, and Bella, 31.

To celebrate her and Keith's 14th anniversary, Nicole uploaded a black-and-white photograph of the couple with the caption: "Us #happyanniversary," along with a love heart emoji.

And to mark their twelfth anniversary, Nicole shared a stunning video with her fans on Instagram, giving them a glimpse of what their big day was like.

In 2013, Keith opened up about his wife on American Idol, saying: "I have an extraordinary wife in Nic, who is an amazing mother." And for Nicole, the feelings are mutual.

In a 2020 Today interview, she said: "I'm married to a really good man. And the kids have a great father and that's a very beautiful thing to be able to say."
