Expressing your feelings through the text can be a meaningful method, unlike others. And, it worked for the American actor James Van Der Beek. He wrote a lengthy tribute to his wife, Kimberly Brook, via his Instagram on their 10th wedding anniversary on 1 August 2020.
The 43-year-old actor started with, 'Ten years ago today this woman made me the happiest I'd ever been.' He added:
"A year prior to that, I’d been famous, been wealthy, been married, been divorced, been less-than-wealthy, been single... and I was in Israel, on a trip with an organized group when it hit me: I was done being single. I wanted a real relationship. A soul mate. Someone with whom I could build a family."
Furthermore, he mentioned:
"I was mid-revelation, rattling all this off to a friend of mine when a voice interrupted us, wanting to ask him a question. I was annoyed. Who the hell was stepping all over my moment? I turned around... it was @vanderkimberly.”
"Three days later, I asked her what she was looking for in a relationship. Her answer: 'I’m not looking for a relationship.' Six months later we were living together. Two weeks after that we were pregnant, and almost exactly one year to the date after she’d first interrupted me (on the spot where we’re standing in the last pic)... we were married."
With the long touchy caption, Van Der Beek attached a series of pictures featuring themselves and their children.
The lengthy tribute to Kimberly Brook came after she suffered a miscarriage in June 2020. It was her fifth miscarriage, which happened when she was 17 months pregnant.
James Van Der Beek first met the love of his life, Kimberly Brook, in Israel in 2009. The following year, on 1 August 2010, the lovebirds shared their wedding vows in Tel Aviv, a city in Israel.
