Ali Fedotowsky-Manno is commemorating another year of marriage with Kevin Manno.
The Bachelorette alum, 41, shared a wholesome tribute to her husband on their ninth wedding anniversary with an Instagram Reel posted on Wednesday, March 4. The tribute featured a snippet from their wedding video.
Ali and Kevin tied the knot on March 2017, and share two children together.
The couple's wedding video captured stunning details from the day, including the couple's wedding cake, the string ensemble playing during the ceremony and Ali's wedding dress, which hung on a special hanger that read "Mrs. Manno." The clip included glimpses of Ali walking down the aisle toward Kevin, who did his best to hold back tears, plus their exchange of emotional vows during the ceremony.
"In the longer version of our wedding video Kevin vows to never stop writing these love notes. And in the one he wrote me this morning he says, 'I think we should be proud of what we’ve built. I love you and I love our life,' " Ali captioned the post.
She continued, reflecting: "His words really resonated with me. I think in the day-to-day, it’s so easy to get lost in the routines and the mundane parts of life. Sometimes the big picture just fades into the background. But this reminded me how important it is to step back and actually look at what we’ve built."

The Bachelorette alum noted that she often spent her youth daydreaming of what it might be like to be a "real grown-up," with a home, husband and children. "And this is is. We're living that daydream right now," Ali wrote to her husband.
Ali reflected on the tendency to always want more from life, adding that "I have everything I've ever wanted … here and now" with Kevin.
"And the truth is, this life didn’t just happen to us—we chose it nine years ago today, we created it, and we keep choosing each other every single day. And I never want to take that for granted," Ali concluded in her post. "I love you [Kevin] – 9 years ❤️."
Ali and Kevin are parents to two children, daughter Molly, 9, and son Riley, 7.
Ali first became known to Bachelor Nation fans on The Bachelor's 14th season and later as the star of The Bachelorette in the sixth season, both of which aired in 2010.
