In honor of his second wedding anniversary, actor Neil Patrick Harris has paid tribute to his husband David Burtka.

The How I Met Your Mother star, 43, and his husband, fellow actor David Burtka, 41, were hitched two years ago today in Italy in a star-studded event after having dated for ten years.

To celebrate the milestone, Neil took to Instagram to share a touching image from the ceremony, showing the couple about to kiss in front of a fireworks display.

But what is even more heartwarming about the post is that the image was taken as a screenshot of Neil's own phone, showing that he keeps the photo as his wallpaper. 

'Two years ago, [David] and I got hitched. Best. Decision. Ever,' the actor wrote along with the picture, adding hashtags using the words 'grateful', 'screenshot' and 'wallpaper'.

The moment captured in the image was taken during the 2014 celebration when the newlyweds had their first dance to Kelly Clarkson's A Moment Like This.

During the song, a beautiful fireworks display was set off. The couple were also treated to a performance by none other than Elton John.

The pair certainly seem to be the perfect couple, with frequent trips together and ever-adorable posts online featuring their children, five-year-old twins Harper and Gideon, who will be starting kindergarten this year.

The anniversary tribute echoes one that Neil posted to the social media site last year, celebrating one year on since their wedding.

'One year ago today I had the pleasure of marrying David Burtka,' he wrote at the time. 'I'm so happy that I did - he's a truly wonderful man. Here's to many more laughs and adventures..!'

With that, he shared another image of the pair at the wedding: a heartwarming photo of the handsome husbands laughing together.

Neil can be seen holding onto a microphone in the shot, in which he looks sharply dressed in a fitted white button down with a black vest and bow tie, likely part of his custom Tom Ford ensemble for the wedding.

He's looking up at the sky and laughing hysterically, as David leans in and holds onto his arm while doing the same.

David is sporting a similar crisp white button down and black bow tie, though he has black suspenders for his look, also a custom one by Tom Ford.
