The mom of three also shared photos of the album Consuelos gifted her. “Happy 25th Anniversary. If I were to write a book of our story, these are the 25 places that could have their own chapter. All of these places mean so much to me – and hopefully to you too. Love, Mark,” he wrote in one of the pages.
Ripa previously ramped up to the big day, sharing some slightly underexposed throwbacks from their honeymoon in Rome , as well as their 13th wedding anniversary, when they took their kids to “the scene of the crime,” the chapel where they got married.

Ripa left a message in the comments section of her husband's post, writing, “Sobbing. I love you so very much. Some of these pics are never before seen. As in, I've never seen them before.”
The Riverdale actor and Ripa met in 1995, when they shared an onscreen romance in All My Children . The real-life couple eloped a year later on May 1, 1996, at the Chapel of the Bells in Las Vegas. They share sons Michael, 23, Joaquin, 18, and daughter Lola, 19.

The pair recently opened up about their 25-year marriage on the Double Date podcast. “What's funny is I think of us as such a progressive as a couple,” Ripa explained.
“I always think of us as politically progressive … we're progressive people,” she continued. “And yet, when it comes to our own family and our marriage and our roles, I think of us as very traditional and almost old-fashioned in our roles.”
Ripa added that her morning talk show lets her plan the rest of her day around her kids' schedules. Meanwhile, Consuelos admitted he's “a traditional guy.”
“I feel like there are certain roles — it's hard to explain exactly what those roles are,” he added. “We had a conversation where I said, 'Hey listen, there's really only room for one man in this relationship and it's going to be me.'”
The daytime power couple is preparing to return to their soap opera roots , serving as executive producers for Pine Valley , an ABC spin-off of All My Children . They could also make an appearance in front of the camera as there are plans to invite the original stars back to make cameos.
