Lily Collins and Charlie McDowell are celebrating five years of their happily ever after.
The Emily in Paris actress, who tied the knot with the 43-year-old American filmmaker in 2021, took to Instagram on Friday, September 4, to mark their fifth wedding anniversary.
To celebrate their special day, the 37-year-old English and American actress posted a carousel of images from their dreamy wedding ceremony, along with writing a heart-melting note.
“Five years ago today, I married my favorite person and best friend. Charlie — half a decade of us supporting each other, making each other laugh, navigating whatever came our way, taking on new adventures, and building a life that feels so uniquely ours,” she delightfully penned.
The Mirror Mirror actress continued, “Through all the changes and everything our journey has brought us, we’ve continued to grow and create a life we love. I’m so grateful for the way you’ve always believed in me, listened to me, and made me feel like I never had to take on anything alone.”
She went on to sweetly reflect, “And then there’s Tove — our greatest little blessing and the sweetest part of everything we’ve created together. Watching you become a dad and getting to experience this chapter as a family has been one of the greatest joys of my life. And to think, it’s all just getting started...”
“Five years down, and forever to go, my one,” the actress concluded.
