Now as they are in the final countdown to their wedding day after 18 years together, Roberts and Laign said they appreciate each more than ever.

\"She is truth speaking. She treats everybody with such kindness, and to have someone by your side like that is a gift,\" Laign said.

Added Roberts, “Many people go into marriage hoping for and looking for what Amber and I already know we have, and so ours is a celebration. We've been living our happily ever after through all the ups and downs, so it's a celebration.”
