"11 years married to this amazing woman," he began. "I can still remember what she looked like in first grade. I still remember how much taller than me she was at church camp in 6th grade. I still remember picking her up on our first date at 16. I still remember how fast my heart was beating when she walked down the aisle."

Rhett continued, "Basically I remember it all so vividly."

"I can't believe how much life we have gotten to share together," he added. "@laur_akins you have been and always will be my best friend. I thank God for you every single day. I love you so much. Thank you for loving me and everyone you know so well. Happy anniversary."
