"Sweet 16!!!! Happy anniversary Love Bug…16 years ago we had zero clue what we were stepping into," Caroline wrote. "The good, the bad, silly moments and stupid arguments. It’s been worth it all and I love you more every year!"

The documentary, "Luke Bryan: My Dirt Road Diary," touched on their love story, detailing how the couple first met and dated while in college before breaking up, only to get back together four years later.
After reuniting, they got married in Turks and Caicos in 2006, a year before his breakthrough hit single "All My Friends Say" was released. The song was first featured on his 2006 eponymous EP and was then used as the first single off his 2007 debut album, "I'll Stay Me."
One thing that brings the two of them together is their mutual love of pranks. Bryan's love of pranks is well-documented, and Caroline also loves pranks, instituting "prankmas" during the holiday season.

"It lets us have some fun and lets us laugh," Bryan told People in 2021, "and it makes the boys get engaged and want to be goofballs and crack up with people. So it sets a tone of 'not seriousness.' I mean, we've all had the friend whose parents were all business, and our household is certainly not that!"

Bryan also opened up to People about how his wife will often give him a well-needed reality check, saying "she's always been the one that really isn't drinking all of my Kool-Aid" and the one who "pulls in the reins" and "keeps it real."

"We've gotten better at understanding when we need to sit down and work through something," Bryan said "And we've also gotten better at realizing when we just need to forgive each other and move on, and we're not gonna let something hang us up for a couple of days. Life's too short!"

"Just like everyone, we have our arguments, bad days and disagreements," Caroline added. "However, we always talk out our problems. Marriage isn't always a fairy tale. It's a battle that both people have to be willing to fight. Each day, whether we are blissfully happy or not, we fight for each other."
