The couple celebrated their 20th anniversary at the Blairquhan Castle

21 Sep - Twenty years since they tied the knot, Suriya and Jyothika decided to renew their vows in a special ceremony held in Scotland.

Sharing their happiness with fans via social media, Suriya posted a video from the ceremony and wrote, "Dear all, sharing yet another piece of our heart with you as we are overwhelmed by the love and positivity you've showered on us."

Thanking everybody involved in the wedding, he then revealed the reason why the ceremony was held at the Blairquhan Castle in Scotland, writing, "We chose Scotland for its misty highlands and lochs and their love story that mirrored our own. But we came home carrying something greater than memories. Having met people so open-hearted, so genuinely warm, that our hearts will never truly go Scot-free."

On the other hand, Jyothika took to her Instagram to share a carousel of photos from the vow renewal.

She also shared in a different post that it was not a celebration of a perfect marriage, but a celebration of "imperfections, of adjustments, of understanding, sacrifices, of loving each other selflessly."

"So here are my vows - I vow to be a happy person - because I choose to see only life's positive side. I vow to celebrate life - because life itself is a gift when the man whom you love, respects you beyond himself. I vow never to complain- Why should I? When even something as vast as the sky doesn't have the privilege of touching the ground! Look around, everything in existence is incomplete. It's how we choose to fill the gaps," she expressed.

"I vow to be thankful - as every morning I wake in the arms of a man who protects me, and for my beautiful children who've given my life a meaning. And me, a reason to live. I vow to be healthy - because that is the only true asset we ever build. Even the fanciest brick houses will always have their leaks, termites, and renovations."

"I vow to be the best mother - not because I cook, or clean, or help, but because I smile, a smile that makes my children want to relive the story their appa amma lived. I vow, my Suriya, to always remain that imperfect wife, who fights, and then makes up, only to grow a little more closer to you each time. I vow to cherish our friendship most of all - because it's rare to find your equal, your confidant, your gossip partner and your best friend, all living inside this one special man who also happens to be your husband and the father of your children."
