Robin Roberts and Amber Laign's nuptials have been a long time coming – the pair have been together for 18 years – and as their wedding finally approaches, the two are going all out to celebrate the change to their relationship status.

The longtime ABC anchor kicked off her pre-wedding celebrations with a bachelorette party live on-air with her Good Morning America colleagues, and Amber of course, before the two set off on separate bachelorette weekends to further celebrate.

Robin spent a weekend "blissfully content" in what appears to be her Key West vacation home, and as the weekend came to an end, she shared the sweet way her soon-to-be wife ensured she would have the most fun possible.

The former sports reporter took to Instagram Monday and gave an exciting glimpse into her bachelorette celebrations, noting how while the weekend is over, she also took Monday off to recover.

The star shared a photo of herself clad in a white t-shirt, sequin cowboy hat, and a glitter sash emblazoned with the words "bride to be," collaged below a photo of two animated portraits of her and Amber.

The couple have been together since 2005

Though neither Robin nor Amber have given many details on when or where their nuptials will take place, the former's GMA colleague Lara Spencer did tease after their on-air bachelorette that the wedding is "less than a month away."

The soon-to-be spouses first met back in 2005 when they were set up on a blind date by a mutual friend, and have been together ever since.
