Ross Mathews and Dr. Wellinthon García-Mathews are celebrating four years of marriage.

The couple wed on May 7, 2022, in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. The men marked their fourth wedding anniversary on Thursday in heartfelt posts reflecting on their destination nuptials.

"5.07.22. 4 years ago today. The best day of my life!!! I’m so grateful every single day that @drgarciamathews said, 'I do,' " Ross wrote on Instagramalongside a photo of them exchanging rings during their beachside ceremony.

The Emmy-winning TV host and producer continued, "Our marriage is so beautiful and kind and happy and pure and something we protect and nurture. Every day since & and every day forward. I LOVE YOU BABY!!! I do!!! ❤️."

In the comments section, Wellinthon wrote, "Te amo mi amor  !! I’m the luckiest husband in the world! Wising for many more years together ❤❤ @helloross." Ross replied, "@drgarciamathews YOU!!! ❤️❤️❤️."

In his own Instagram post, Wellinthon explained how their wedding served as the basis for their children's book, Tío and Tío: The Ring Bearers, which released in April 2025. The picture book follows two brothers who travel to Mexico for their uncles’ wedding.

"Four years ago today. Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. Just us. The ocean. And the people who love us most," Wellinthon wrote. "My dad walked us both down the aisle that day. The only parent we had left between us. And he showed up like he always has. Our nephews carried our rings. That moment became a book. That book became a framework."

He added, "@helloross you have never once asked me to be less than everything I am. Feliz aniversario mi amor. Te amo infinito. Sinceramente your husband, Dr. García-Mathews ✍."

Wellinthon shared several wedding photos, including the couple cutting into their five-tiered wedding cake, walking down the aisle, and posing with their nephews. He wrote over one photo, "Still choosing each other. Every single day," and over another, "Four years down. Forever to go."

In an Instagram reel, Wellinthon revealed that he and his husband celebrated their wedding anniversary with their neighbors, who surprised them with dinner at the Caribbean restaurant Kabawa in New York City.

"Four years and still the best decision I ever made marrying @helloross," he wrote in part over clips of their dishes. "Our neighbors @cjmiller & Phil surprised us with dinner at @kabawa to celebrate our anniversary!! Love ❤️ the history and story of @kabawa and the chef Paul Carmichael food was ❤️❤️! This is what community looks like. This is what love looks like up close."

He shared a group photo from the dinner on his Instagram Stories, writing, "Thank you @cjmiller & Phil for the best anniversary dinner @kabawa !!. Ross reshared the post on his own Instagram Stories, adding, "Thank you both so much! This dinner was UNREAL. If you can, go to @kabawa!"

Exclusively speaking to PEOPLE in September 2024, Ross said he was "shocked" at how much he loves married life.

“I have been so shocked at how much I love being married," he said. "I love my husband because he's the best human that I know in terms of being funny and silly and brilliant and strong."

“What I didn't anticipate is that marriage would make me feel like I can try anything because if I fail, I'm not going to fall alone. There will be someone to pick me up. And I just feel invincible in that way now,” he continued.
