They say the foundations of a successful marriage need to be built on trust, respect, and admiration, but whatever Rebecca Gibney and her husband Richard Bell’s secret is, it must be working because the couple is celebrating their 20th anniversary today.
The Back To The Rafters star has taken to her Instagram to mark the monumental occasion with an incredible photo gallery of her most cherished moments with her husband over the years.
She also shared some special images from her wedding, and she revealed that her sleek and beaded dress was designed by her long-time friend and Celebrity MasterChef co-star, Collette Dinnigan.
It appears that Rebecca wore her wedding dress to renew her vows, and she posted an emotional image of herself on the verge of tears as she held Richard’s hand during the ceremony.
The carousel she has put together is the sweetest celebration of the life they have shared. And to express the strong emotions she is feeling today, she penned a heartfelt caption.
