“This is our anniversary post,” Bryan said in an Instagram stories video, as Parade reported. “We stayed at home,” he said. “We’re not even going out to dinner.” The pair looks perfectly cozy together, enjoying the outdoor ambiance with their furry friends. “Happy anniversary,” Bryan wrote. “[Nineteen] amazing years. I love you.”
A Christmas Party Helped Start Their Long-lasting Union
GettyBryan and Boyer Bryan proved they don’t need a big spectacle to celebrate their love this year, and their relationship has truly stood the test of time. In 2012, Bryan spoke to HuffPost about how their love story started. He shared that the pair first met during their college days in the late ’90s, but it was a Christmas party half a decade later that finally sealed the deal.
“We dated in college and then we broke up for like 5 1/2 years and got back together…” he said. The two reunited at a show Bryan was playing at a local bar. “We kinda saw each other and talked a little bit, and then started emailing back and forth a little bit,” he recalled. “And she was like, ‘Hey, you want to come to my family’s Christmas party?'” According to Bryan, attending that party set the wheels in motion for their happily ever after.
Boyer Bryan Kept Them Afloat During Her Husband’s Early Career

As People reported, it was actually his wife who kept their household finances in line early in his career. During an appearance on the “Pickler & Ben” podcast, the singer gave Boyer Bryan credit for supporting him after they tied the knot. “When we got married, her career supported me when I was making about $10,000 a year,” he said. “She was the one bringing in the dough.”
They have certainly come a long way since then, and Bryan has found success on “American Idol” and with his music career. Together, they have raised five children, including their biological sons Bo and Tate.
