“28 years today”: Barbra Streisand’s sweet tribute

Barbra Streisand has celebrated two special occasions with her husband James Brolin. 

The singer and actress took to Instagram to share a throwback photo of the pair on their wedding day, marking both their 26th wedding anniversary and the day they first met almost three decades ago. 

"28 years today since we met honey… and 26 years today since we married!" she wrote. 

She added a sweet message for her husband:  "Love you. B ❤️."

The photo, from their 1998 nuptials, showed Brolin looking dapper in a classic black tuxedo as he wrapped his arms around Streisand looking beautiful in a white, lacy off-the-shoulder wedding dress. 

The couple first met in 1996 at a blind date dinner party when she was 54 and he was 56. 

They tied the knot in a backyard ceremony at the singer's home in Malibu, California. 

"I can't tell you how lucky I am that this would happen to me so late in life," Brolin said in his wedding speech at the time. 

 "Every night is a new adventure. Sleeping is a waste of time. I can't wait to see [Streisand] again in the morning." 

 Brolin was previously married to Jane Cameron Agee and Jan Smithers, while Streisand was previously wed to Elliott Gould.

Fans were quick to congratulate the couple on their anniversary. 

"Happy Anniversary!!! What a gorgeous photo," wrote one fan. 

"Based on your novel: you finally got the love you deserve," added another. 

"You're such a stunning couple, congratulations, and may you continue to write your love story. Thank you for giving us you," commented a third.
