20 years later, their love is still intact. This Wednesday, Elodie Gossuin and Bertrand Lacherie celebrate their wedding anniversary. On this occasion, the husband of Miss France 2001 opened the family album and once again confessed his love to her.

Love always. July 1 is an unforgettable date for Elodie Gossuin and Bertrand Lacherie. It’s been twenty years since a former beauty queen and a former model said “I do” to each other and as they promised at the altar, the couple intends to keep their promise forever. On the occasion of their porcelain wedding anniversary, her husband dusted off the family album and pulled out some intimate photographs of their union.

A meringue dress, a crowded church, a drunken evening… The lovers did everything possible to make this day one of the most beautiful in their lives. “Yes for life!” It has been twenty years since I uttered this phrase with enthusiasm and frankness…” the 44-year-old father wrote in the caption of his post. “20 years have flown by at lightning speed, and yet we have experienced so many moments that have left their mark on us. Joys, sorrows, disputes, reconciliations, alienations, meetings – that’s what life is! For twenty years I have tried to make you laugh, to accompany you, to help you, to please you, to understand you… not always successfully or correctly (I’m only human!), but with the greatest sincerity,” he continued with tenderness.

Twenty years is not nothing. It’s a symbolic milestone, and her husband says he would change absolutely nothing about their story if it had to be repeated again. “I’m glad I can say this twenty years later, I would like to say it again with conviction and determination! Yes, for the rest of our lives!” And this is not just a declaration of intent. A few days ago Bertrand Lacherie knelt down again, dressed as a unicorn.to ask for the hand of your beloved again. A real fairy tale.
