Congratulations are pouring in for Jennifer Aydin, who just reached another big milestone.
On Friday, August 25, The Real Housewives of New Jersey mom shared a heartwarming Instagram post in celebration of her and Dr. Bill Aydin's 21st wedding anniversary. The video, which was soundtracked by Taylor Swift’s “Paper Rings” song, offered a hefty dose of nostalgia, as it featured dozens of photos from the couple’s lavish wedding day.

Jennifer was seen donning a beautiful strapless gown with a sweetheart neckline, a royal train, and tonal embroidery throughout. The timeless design was complemented by a sleek, classic updo; silver jewelry; and a sparkly tiara.
Bill also went the traditional route and donned a black tuxedo with a crisp white button-down, a white vest, and a white tie. The plastic surgeon added a pop of color by rocking a tango-pink boutonniere, which matched Jennifer’s gorgeous bouquet.
Other photos showed the Jersey mom walking down the aisle, releasing a pair of doves after the ceremony, and sharing a toast with Bill on a horse-drawn carriage.
“21 years, For better or worse, my love,” Jennifer captioned the Instagram, which tagged her husband.

Jennifer Aydin shares a look at her anniversary gift and family dinner
Jennifer went on to post a few more videos from her 21st anniversary day. She showed off a beautiful bouquet she received from Bill, posted footage of her family dinner at the Samdam Mediterranean restaurant, and shared an amusing anecdote that her youngest child didn’t appreciate it.
“Yesterday, Bill walked into the room, watching me do all the Amazon returns, and he’s like, ‘Good job, Jennifer Aydin!’” the Jersey mom recalled while sitting next to her 10-year-old daughter, Olivia. “And then, of course, I gave him a little kiss for our anniversary. I was like, ‘It’s 21 years married and 22 years since I set my sights on you and made you mine.’ I met him, actually, one year to the day of our wedding day — but that’s another story.”
She continued: “So he looked at me — he was smiling — and I looked at him and I said, ‘You know, you didn’t do so bad yourself. Just saying!’ And he looked at me and he goes, ‘I didn’t get no lemon… I got me a melon!’ And I go, ‘No, baby doll. You got two melons!’”
In typical kid fashion, Olivia let out a giant, “Ewwww!”
Jennifer Aydin says she has no plans to return to couple's therapy
Jennifer and Bill’s marital issues were heavily explored in RHONJ Season 13; however, the Jersey couple appeared to be doing much better in the months after filming wrapped. The husband and wife have consistently shared updates on their 2023 summer, which has included countless date nights as well as quality time with their five children.
Jennifer spoke about her relationship during Part 2 of the RHONJ Season 13 reunion special, saying she and Bill were likely done with couple’s therapy.
“I gotta say that one therapy session did wonders for both of us,” she said. “Things have been so great between us that I’m just, like, not gonna push it.”
