Bruce Springsteen and his wife, Patti Scialfa, are celebrating a special marriage milestone.
On Monday, June 8, Scialfa, 72, marked their 35th wedding anniversary on Instagram. She shared an intimate photo from the morning after their nuptials.
The image shows the couple's wedding attire draped across a chair with an ottoman next to a table with a vase full of pink roses. A pair of western boots can be seen on the floor.
"1991-morning after our wedding," Scialfa wrote in the caption. "My dress, Bruce's suit, a mandolin and snakes curving up his boots. That says it all."
The pair tied the knot in their Los Angeles home in 1991 after meeting in the 1980s at The Stone Pony in Asbury Park, N.J., where both regularly performed. They sparked a friendship, which led to Scialfa joining the "I'm on Fire" rocker and the E Street Band on their 1984 Born in the U.S.A. tour as a backup vocalist.

Their relationship later turned romantic after Springsteen, 76, split from his first wife, Julianne Phillips, in 1988. The musicians started their family together in July 1990, welcoming son Evan. Daughter Jessica was born in December 1991, followed by son Sam in January 1994.
The couple became first-time grandparents in 2022 when Sam welcomed his first child, daughter Lily, with his partner.

Last year, Springsteen opened up about his romance with Scialfa and how he knew she was the one.
"I knew she saw me for who I really was," he said in a September cover story interview with Time magazine. "A complicated, messy person. I didn't have to pretend. I was broken. She was broken in her own way, and we were each other's personal projects."

The "Galveston Bay" singer also recalled his first impression of Scialfa when they met all those years ago at The Stone Pony.
"I went, 'Who is that gorgeous redhead singing like Ronnie Spector or Dusty Springfield?' " he said.
Scialfa got offstage, the rocker introduced himself, and the rest "has been the rest," the 20-time Grammy winner added.
When the couple celebrated their 34th wedding anniversary last year, Scialfa posted a PDA-filled throwback photo from their first anniversary, along with a message reflecting on their marriage.
"Our one year anniversary…. Bruce surprised me with a beautiful party….." she wrote on Instagram. "Today marks 34 years … even though we already had Evan and Jess was on the way…. spent the evening with Bruce Sam and our granddaughter Lily…"
