Melissa Gorga Celebrates 12 Years of Wedded Bliss to Joe Gorga

Melissa Gorga and Joe Gorga may have gone through some growing pains this season on The Real Housewives of New Jersey as Melissa embarks on life as a business owner (clip above). But the love is definitely still there for the Garden State couple. On Friday, Melissa paid homage to her hubby as the pair celebrate their 12-year wedding anniversary.

"12 years ago today we walked down the aisle, and I can still remember the smile on our faces," Melissa wrote on Instagram, alongside a series of photos of the happy couple. "Happy Anniversary @joeygorga I love U forever."

Last December, The Daily Dish spoke to Melissa, who shared how the couple manage to keep their marriage so strong all these years later. "I always say it's probably one of the most important things [to have date nights]. I don't know how couples can survive without being able to spend some time alone and take it back to it being about the two of them, instead of the bills, the kids, the mortgage, the work, the jobs," she said of their marriage secrets. "There's got to be a time that you guys just hang out and remember why you like each other so much."
