Rita Wilson and Tom Hanks are celebrating another year of marriage!

To mark their 36th wedding anniversary on April 30, both Wilson, 67, and Hanks, also 67, shared romantic photos and sweet messages about their relationship to Instagram.

Hanks captioned a photo of the sun-kissed couple with, "1988? April 30th? Big Doings. The Wilson & Hanks couple became Wife & Husband. 36 years! Nothing but Love since… Hanx."
