Garth Brooks and Trisha Yearwood, both renowned country music stars, are commemorating a significant milestone in their lives. Having first crossed paths in 1987 and later beginning a romantic relationship after Brooks’ divorce from his first wife, the pair exchanged vows in a private ceremony at their Oklahoma residence twenty years ago on December 10. Since that special day, the duo has been virtually inseparable, engaging in a groundbreaking joint tour, releasing various collaborative projects, and gracing red carpets together. As devoted partners, they have consistently cheered each other on, celebrating milestones such as receiving stars on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
As the couple marks their 20th wedding anniversary, let’s take a trip down memory lane with a photo capturing a moment from each year of their marriage:
