After 15 years of marriage, Chip and Joanna Gaines are still so in love.

The couple is celebrating their 15th wedding anniversary today (just ahead of the birth of their baby boy this summer), and to mark the occasion, Chip shared a sweet poem for his wife on Twitter.

"15 years...where’d they go, 15 years...I’d like to know, 15 more, to God I pray, 15 more just to make her day," he wrote. "Happy anniversary sweet girl!"


Joanna shared a sentimental message, too, via Instagram. "It's been a good fifteen years @chipgaines here's to fifty more," she wrote.

The couple, who first met at Joanna's father's Firestone in 2001, married just two years later. While it wasn't necessarily love at first sight (Chip jokingly referred to Joanna as a "cyborg" when they started dating), it wasn't long before their relationship grew into something special.


"When I learned how to embrace Joanna for who she is and really support her all the way, I feel like that was a real lightbulb moment for me in my relationship with her," Chip told Jefferson Bethke. "As I really enveloped this concept of I'm going to support her, and love her, and fight for her regardless, I feel like that opened [her] heart to be able to reciprocate."

In May 2003, the pair married at the historic Earle-Harrison House in Waco, Texas. The big day featured a horse-drawn carriage, a string quartet, and a special member of the wedding party, Chip's dog. "I still look back at it as one of the best days of my life," Chip wrote in The Magnolia Story.

Ten years with this man. It's been a fun journey! #stillsmiling

Their four kids, Drake, 13, Ella Rose, 11, Duke, 9, and Emmie Kay, 8, soon followed, and now the pair are expecting a baby boy due in the next couple of months. Clearly, these two have a lot to celebrate. Happy anniversary, Chip and Joanna!
