Happy anniversary to Craig and Lindsay!
TODAYโs Craig Melvin shared a blast from the past Oct. 15, posting a collection of photos from his 2011 wedding to sportscaster Lindsay Czarniak in celebration of the pairโs 15th anniversary.
โ15 years married to my best friend. Lindsay, youโre the rock of our family,โ Craig said on Instagram. โYouโre the one who keeps us all grounded and the glue that holds it all together. Happy Anniversary โค๏ธโ
In the post, Craig shared a couple of snaps taken on the coupleโs big day, from their dance during the reception to a private moment in the back of a car. He also shared a recent photo in which heโs kissing his wife on the cheek.
Craig and Lindsay โ who share son Delano, 12, and daughter, Sybil, 9 โ first met in 2008. While guest co-hosting an episode of TODAY with Jenna & Friends last year, Craig shared that the two met on-air while working at NBCโs Washington affiliate station.
Craig started at the station when Lindsay was away covering the 2008 Olympics in Beijing. He recalled one day he turned around, expecting to see the producer who had been filling in for Lindsay. Instead, he was surprised by the appearance of his future wife, who had just returned from China.
โAnd I turned, and the guy filling in for her wasnโt there. I didnโt know that, and I turned and Iโm like, โOh, hey, uh,โ and so I got a little tongue-tied,โ Craig recalled.
โI was like, โHey, welcome back from the Olympics,โ and sheโs like, โWelcome to Channel 4, loser,โโ he added. โShe didnโt say loser.โ
The two have had plenty of sweet moments since. Most recently, Lindsay called on fans to cast their votes for Craig in Peopleโs Sexiest Man Alive Readerโs Choice poll. Craig was nominated in the โhotter than your cup of coffee in the morningโ category alongside Michael Strahan, Gio Benitez and Vladimir Duthiers.
โHe is an amazing dad, tremendous husband, teammate, partner, always so supportive and encouraging,โ Lindsay said. โHe makes a mean chili … he is a pro at candle-making. He is really good at debating. This is true โ and I mean in the most positive of ways.โ
She ended her pitch with some honesty.
โAnd beyond all those things that make him sexy on the outside โ like, letโs be honest, the dimple, guys, itโs the dimple,โ she said. โI think itโs his character and his makeup on the inside that make us think that really, you know, heโs the sexiest man alive.โ
