Emma Heming Willis marked her and Bruce Willis’ first wedding anniversary since his frontotemporal dementia diagnosis with a throwback clip of them renewing their vows.
The Die Hard actor, 68, and former model, 44, first walked down the aisle 14 years ago on March 21, 2009, before deciding to do it all again ten years later in the exact same place.
The video, shared to Instagram, sees Bruce and Emma’s two children Mabel Ray and Evelyn Penn serving as flower girls, while Bruce’s daughters Scout and Rumer from his previous marriage to Demi Moore, sang and played the guitar at the ceremony.
Moore – who has remained close friends with Bruce – was also in attendance, acting as videographer for the special occasion.
“Seize every opportunity to unite and celebrate with family and friends,” Emma Heming Willis wrote in the caption alongside the clip. “Those are the moments and beautiful pockets of memories that you get to hold on to for a lifetime. And we get to keep those memories safe and alive for the ones that might not be able to.”
In another post, Emma spoke about feeling emotional after a friend gifted her a beautiful bouquet of flowers for the special day, an act she noted Bruce would have previously done.
“Today marks 14 years of marriage to the greatest love of my life,” she explained. “I woke with my heart full but what my mind kept going back to was another persons act of kindness yesterday I wanted to share as it inspired the heck out of me.
“In passing at a school event for our children, I mentioned to my friend that our anniversary was tomorrow. Cut to, I get a text from my friend later that day that said she left “a little something” for me at my door. It was this sweet bouquet of flowers (pictured) with a note that said Happy Anniversary amongst other things,” she continued.
“It got me thinking about how hard these types of ‘special occasions’ can be on caregivers. When usually our person would acknowledge the event, now their changing brains just can’t. And that is what it is.
“So my point is this. If you know someone that is looking after someone else, don’t ask what you can do, just do. This random act of kindness will honestly stay with me for a long time.”
