Pierce Brosnan and his wife Keeley Shaye are celebrating 31 glorious years together as they ushered in their wedding anniversary on Wednesday.
The 61-year-old took to Instagram to share a carousel of nostalgic photos with the 007 star to commemorate the special day. The first image captured the couple making their red carpet debut together back in April 1995.
Pierce and his wife attended the London premiere of Legends of the Fall, with the photo having been preserved from a newspaper cutting by the American journalist.
Keely was the ultimate Bond girl in a plunging black dress that featured a figure-hugging silhouette with spaghetti straps. The floor-length gown oozed '90s chic, with Keely embracing a minimalist aesthetic. She opted to leave her décolletage bare, instead accessorizing with a pair of delicate gold hoop earrings.

Keely's luscious brunette locks were swept back into an elegant updo while her makeup exuded soft glam courtesy of a bronze eye, a pinch of blush, and a rogue stained lip.
Meanwhile, the James Bond actor looked suave in a classic black tuxedo layered over a crisp white shirt. Over the top of the image, the newspaper text read: "Prince, Pitt, Pitt, Prince. Perhaps not. But Brad Pitt was certainly psyched when he met Prince Charles at the London premiere of Legends of the Fall. Afterward, Pitt, who attended with his girlfriend, actress Gwyneth Paltrow (daughter of actress Blythe Danner), said, 'It's history, right? For me, that is, not him'. At the same event, Pierce Brosnan (below), in England filming his debut as the new 007, squired his real-life Bond girl, journalist Keely Shaye-Smith."
The following snap depicted the young couple posing together for another sweet photograph. Keely donned a sparkly silver halterneck top while her glossy tresses cascaded down her neck. Pierce looked handsome in a black jacket layered over a simple T-shirt.

The mother-of-two looked sensational in a strapless red dress that featured a corseted bodice and a flowy skirt. The scene-stealing number was teamed with a matching suede bag and a dazzling beaded necklace that perfectly complemented Keely's pearl earrings.
