A long-lasting happy marriage in Hollywood is like a diamond in the rough: exceptionally rare and even harder to find. You can almost count on one hand all the couples who've been together for more than 20 years.
Therefore, it becomes all the more important to celebrate the love and commitment of those couples that manage to make it work. Couples like Sarah Jessica Parker and Matthew Broderick, for example — who have quite the love story, to say the least.
Sarah played Carrie Bradshaw: a young writer living in New York City, looking for love in all the wrong places. The show ran for six seasons and produced two feature films.
Matthew's big break came along after he was tapped to play the lead in Ferris Bueller's Day Off. The movie has gone on to achieve cult-like status among fans.
With good reason too, it's hilarious, emotional, and is aesthetically pleasing. What's not to love?
Their paths crossed for the first time all the way back in 1991.
In 1991, Matthew was directing a play for the Naked Angels Theater Company — founded by Sarah's older brothers, Pippin and Toby.
Matthew explained in vivid detail what Sarah looked like as she walked toward him on the street. He admits that remembering how a person looks or walks is a throwaway detail most of the time.
And honestly, who can even blame him? Look at her! She's stunning even when she is completely shocked!
Months passed by without any word whatsoever.
Since she wasn't available to take the call, Matthew wound up leaving a voicemail!
It didn't take long for a strong bond to begin to develop. In no time, Sarah and Matthew were inseparable. Then, five years later they tied the knot.
At the wedding, Sarah infamously wore a black dress.
For the fashion icon, you can imagine how that might have stunned a lot of her fans.
“I never thought about a wedding dress. Never. Had not one daydream about it."
Their first son, James Wilkie, was born on October 28th, 2002. Seven years later, they welcomed two new editions to the family — twin daughters Marion and Tabitha.
Sarah shared a throwback wedding photo to commemorate the day via Instagram. The caption read, "It flew by Baby. Good golly I love you. XXX, Your wife."
Can you believe how young the two of them look?!
"I don't know the secret at all," Matthew replied. "But I'm very grateful and I love her and, it's amazing."
Proving that everything comes full-circle, Matthew and Sarah are set to reunite on Broadway this year.
Throughout the performance, Sarah and Matthew challenge the status quo of marriage as they transform into three different couples.
I bet it'll be amazing!
