Chesca Garcia and Doug Kramer penned heartwarming dedications for each other, in celebration of their 15th wedding anniversary on Monday, Oct. 9.
Aside from celebrating their 15th year as a married couple, the pair also marked the 20 years that have passed since they started their relationship. The former basketball athlete also proposed to Garcia on the same day 16 years ago.
In her anniversary post on Instagram, the celebrity mom uploaded a compilation video of their moments through the years, including several clips of the couple doing their “signature #ChesDougFlyingKiss” in different places. It also showcased moments from their first years as parents.
“When I think of the goodness of God, I look at our family. I have all that I need and I will continue to give all of my love. I have been blessed with more than I could ever ask or pray for. I will always love you deeply @dougkramer and will always cherish each and every day with you and our children,” she promised, and then, wished for “many, many, many more” celebrations of the love they share.
“I love you so much my sweetheart. 20 years of togetherness and 15 wonderful years since the time we sealed our love — To many, many, many more of this. [heart emoji] I love you with all that I’ve got! [face blowing a kiss emoji],” Garcia told her husband.
Kramer also reminisced about their two-decade relationship in his Instagram post, uploading several photos of them as boyfriend and girlfriend, an engaged pair, and eventually as a married couple with three kids — Kendra, Scarlett, and Gavin.
“20 years together today. I’ve been with you half my life! [crying-laughing face emoji] Indeed, a roller coaster of an adventure! We enjoyed the highs, and held each other even more during the lows. And we’re still here!” he shared, and expressed that he “truly” loves his wife more than when they said their “I do’s.”
“In fact, you’re still my crush, baby! Still so attracted to you because there’s just so much to love about you. I truly love you more than [on] the day I married you. God gave me the best partner I could have. The best mom to my kids. There is no challenge or battle I’m afraid of, because we have each other. And because we both believe we have a God that is bigger than any problem we can encounter,” he continued.
“So cheers to more disagreements and reconciliations sealed with a kiss! My job is to continue to cherish and nurture you more every day, of every year that we’re together. I love you Francesca! Happy 15th wedding anniversary and 20 years together! God is so good! [emojis],” declared Kramer, who was surprised by Garcia with their renewal of vows on their 10th wedding anniversary.
Several users including celebrities extended their greetings to the long-time couple. Among those who sent their love were Iya Villania, Anne Curtis, Ara Mina, Iza Calzado, and LJ Moreno.
