Reality dating television series have rarely produced a couple made to survive the ‘outside world’, but The Bachelor’s Sam Wood and Snezana Markoski are the exception as they celebrate their fourth wedding anniversary.
In an Instagram tribute post, Snezana shared a heart-warming video featuring the couple celebrating their anniversary with an intimate dinner date.
“Together for 7 years married for 4 and I still get lost in those blue eyes, that smile and touch,” she captioned the video.
Snezana looked stunning in a red sequined skirt paired with a white button-up top and clear heels.
The beginning of their love story is a strange one, but it’s even more romantic, as Snezana was the first contestant Sam laid eyes on during the third season of The Bachelor.
After Sam decided that Snezana was ‘the one’ in the season finale, the couple have been inseparable since.
When the winner was announced in 2015, Sam told Woman’s Day, “I definitely know one day I’m going to marry this woman.”
And only six months after meeting, Sam dropped down to one knee and popped the question. But their plans to tie the knot in a beautiful Italian ceremony were put on hold when Snezana discovered she was pregnant with Australia’s first Bachelor baby, Willow Wendy Wood, born in October 2017.
After years of waiting, the couple finally exchanged their vows in November 2018 at the Fig Tree Restaurant in Byron Bay.
Snezana looked like a fairytale princess in her custom-made lace gown designed by Pallas Couture and Sam was just as handsome in his cream suit.
The ceremony also featured their daughters Eve and Willow, who were 13 and 1 respectively at the time, also took center stage as bridesmaids.
Despite Eve not being Sam’s biological daughter, Sam said their bond is thicker than blood.
“I never call myself Eve’s ‘step-dad’. I am Eve’s dad. That’s how I feel. That’s how I act,” he said.
“It was this crazy world which they [Snez and Eve] uprooted everything and came to Melbourne to live with me, but now we’re this family,” he previously told Now To Love.
The couple expanded their family in July 2019 when they welcomed baby girl, Charlie and again in May 2022 with Harper Jones.
