HGTV stars Ben and Erin Napier took to Instagram on November 22 to celebrate their love and mark their 16th wedding anniversary. In his November 22 post, the “Home Town” star shared some footage from his and Erin’s wedding video, including a message about the traditional 16th anniversary gift in his caption.
“16 years. Wax,” Ben wrote. “The traditional gift for a 16th wedding anniversary is wax, which symbolizes the way a couple has molded their lives together over the years. The idea is that wax can melt, bend, and change shape, just as a couple needs to be flexible to make a marriage worK. We have grown up together and our lives only work together. We don’t have lives, we have a life. #happyanniversary lover girl.”
Erin Napier’s Mother Shares Her Wedding Day Memories
Ben wasn’t the only one looking back on his wedding day, as Erin’s mother, Karen Rasberry, chimed into the comment section with her memories from the day. “I totally forgot today is the day you became my son-in-law. But I’ll never forget it was 22 degrees in Oxford that day and that the heat went out in the chapel nor how much Phil cried that night after his baby girl got married,” Karen wrote.
Many fans joined Karen in the comment section, with both reactions to the video footage of Ben and Erin’s wedding and questions about their anniversary.
“What gift did you get her? A waxing voucher? 😂,” one user asked, to which Ben responded, “a waxed canvas bag!! A candle would’ve been cheating.”
“Happy anniversary! Love your wedding video. So sweet! My hubby and I have visited Laurel Mississippi many times now. We would have never even gone (or known about it) except for you two and your show. I like to think you guys made a darling southern town even better!” another user shared.
