Millennials, most of whom are still trying to make sense of adulting, felt the whirlwind of time after seeing the news of Neil Patrick Harris and David Burtka celebrating the 20th anniversary of their very first date. Yes, two whole decades.
The married couple shared pictures of themselves on April 1 to celebrate the anniversary of their first date, still looking head over heels in love with each other.
Neil, 50, took to Instagram and wrote about how he and his husband of nearly 10 years have made so many “remarkable memories” together.
