Robin Roberts and her wife Amber Laign have a very special milestone to celebrate.
Over the weekend, the Good Morning America anchor and the massage therapist marked the 19th anniversary of their first meeting, on a blind date.
Plus, it's not the only milestone the couple will be celebrating this summer, as come September 8, they'll also be celebrating their very first anniversary as a married couple.
In honor of the special day, Robin took to Instagram on Saturday, July 8, and shared a sweet, loved-up selfie that captured Amber planting a kiss on her cheek.
She wrote in her caption: "Ohhhh what a night! 19 years ago mutual friends Alex and Bert set us up on a blind date…" before recalling: "One that the 2 of us had canceled several times!"
But they were clearly meant to be, and Robin added: "So glad we finally said yes…and then said I do. We wish all an equally #blessedweekend."
Robin's GMA colleagues and fans alike were then quick to take to the comments section under the post with their congratulatory messages, with DeMarco Morgan writing: "This is definitely what LOVE & HAPPINESS looks like [for sure]!!!" as Rebecca Jarvis added: "Picture of happiness," plus Whit Johnson also wrote: "Love this beautiful love story!"
