On Sunday, the actor, 65, posted a throwback photo of himself and Hilaria, 40, together on their wedding day as he marked the anniversary of their first meeting on Instagram.

“February 18, 2011. Things were about to change in a big way,” Alec wrote in the caption. “@bocartist and I roaming Irving Place. And who do I find there? I am more grateful for you than anything…” he concluded. 

Hilaria lovingly responded with a couple of heart emojis in the comments section.

In the wedding photo, the couple smiled and posed together as they stood in the middle of the aisle in a church surrounded by their loved ones.

Hilaria also reflected on their anniversary as she wrote in a post, “Met you today, 13 years ago, @alecbaldwininsta …what a journey we have made🤍…”

Alongside her message, the mom of seven posted a mirror selfie of herself and eldest daughter Carmen, 10, indoors before the pair headed out on their own "date night."

“Date night with my first baby…she did both our makeup,” Hilaria began in the caption. “How quickly they get big and how amazing it is to get to be inspired by them. Carmen, you are such a special soul…just like your siblings…all unique and equally incredible.”

She added at the end, “ps edit from Carmen and me here for the birthday wishes we are reading in comments: it’s not her bday …it’s the day I met Alec. ❤️ you all.”
