It's an extra special weekend for Patrick Dempsey, his wife Jillian Fink, and their family of five.
On Wednesday, July 31, the Grey's Anatomy alum marked his milestone 25th wedding anniversary with his wife, the celebrity make-up artist behind the popular beauty brand Jillian Dempsey.
Since tying the knot in 1999, the couple, who met when the Bridget Jones' Baby actor came in for a haircut at her salon in 1994, have welcomed three kids, daughter Talula Fyfe, 22, plus twins Darby Galen and Sullivan Patrick, 17.
In honor of the special day, Patrick took to Instagram and shared a rare photo of their nuptials, an intimate ceremony at his family property in Maine.
The photo sees the racing aficionado looking dapper in a classic black tux with a white Calla lily pinned to his lapel, while Jillian, giving her back to the camera, looked chic as ever in a white silk gown with a ruffled train and sleeves.
In his caption, Patrick wrote: "25 years, it feels like just yesterday!" adding: "I can't get over how quickly the time has gone by."

Their daughter Talula wrote: "Cuteeeee," with a praising hands emoji, as others followed suit with: "Happy 25th to a FABULOUS couple!" and: "So sweet! Happy anniversary, you two! Wishing you all the best! It's beautiful to see you being so in love and happy," as well as: "Happy anniversary to you two! Much respect and good wishes for years to come."
Back in 2015, Patrick and Jillian's marriage hit a rough patch; they briefly separated, and Jillian filed for divorce, however they have since spoken candidly about their decision to work on their relationship and call off the divorce. "Jill and I decided it was time to work on our issues and improve. We wanted to be role models for our kids, like, okay, if you have differences, you can work them out," Patrick told People.
