Among all the high-profile Hollywood romances, the longstanding marriage between actors Emily Blunt and John Krasinski is often dubbed a "fan favorite." The celebs are certainly A-list actors on their own accord, but together they make one star-powered duo. 

The couple first met at a Los Angeles restaurant in 2008 and after a whirlwind romance of less than a year, Krasinski proposed. In 2011, The Office alum detailed meeting Blunt during an appearance on The Ellen DeGeneres Show, saying, "It's one of those things where as soon as you meet someone, you kind of know."

On July 10, 2010, the actors tied the knot in Lake Como, Italy, and now, 13 years later, the couple is celebrating over a decade of marriage!

Blunt and Krasinski went on to have two daughters, Hazel and Violet, and collaborate professionally with their A Quiet Place films, with the third installment in the works. 

Beloved on and off-screen, scroll down to deep-dive into this complete timeline of Emily Blunt and John Krasinski's relationship. 

November 2008: The Meet-Cute 

Krasinski and Blunt initially met at a restaurant in Los Angeles in 2008, where each one was out with friends. He was mutual friends with Blunt's dinner companion, Gary, and he came over to their table to introduce himself. Krasinski was dining with fellow actor Justin Theroux. 

In 2018, Blunt revealed the story behind their restaurant meet-cute during an appearance on Late Night With Seth Meyers. 

"It's kind of a sad, lame story. I was in a restaurant, he was in the restaurant. I was sitting with a mutual friend," Blunt explained to Meyers. "And my friend, Gray, goes, 'Oh my god, that's my friend, John.' And that was it. He was sitting with our friend, Justin Theroux, and he abandoned Justin and came over to us. He just stood there and made me laugh."

2008: First Date 

Though the couple has not revealed the exact month their first date took place, Krasinski argues it took some convincing to get Blunt to agree to go out with him. While Blunt, on the other hand, attests she was the one to ask him out first! 

In a joint interview with The Hollywood Reporter in 2018, Krasinski insisted, "It was me asking for a while and you took some time,” he said. “And then we finally had a date.”

The couple met for pizza at Krasinski's West Hollywood apartment and agreed to keep the details of their first date private. “It’s so precious, I don’t want to talk about it,” Blunt told THR.

August 2009: The Proposal 

After less than a year of their courtship, Krasinski proposed to Blunt in Los Angeles. At the Emmy Awards, he joked with Access Hollywood about the "casual" yet emotional way he popped the question. 

“It was very casual,” Krasinski said at the time. “I was nervous and the whole nine yards.”

“She did cry after I cried and we cried and then everyone around us was crying,” he explained. “Then, I think people weren’t really sure what was going on, but they were crying because we were crying. But it was great. At the end of the day, she said yes which is great. It’s a big part of this whole thing.”

July 2010: Wedding in Lake Como, Italy 

Krasinski and Blunt got married on July 10, 2010, at George Clooney's estate in Lake Como, Italy. The couple held a private ceremony with close friends and family. Blunt wore a Marchesa wedding gown.

During an appearance on The Late Late Show With James Corden, Blunt said her only regret from the big day was getting a spray tan. "I look at the pictures and it just has an orange hue that is unnatural to normal skin color. Why was I on a budget on my wedding day? It was a bit patchy. It stinks! And it was a very hot day so if you sweat and you have a spray tan—wearing white. Just seeping orange. It was terrible," she said. 

April 2013: Happily Married

Three years after tying the knot, Blunt graced the cover of InStyle Magazine, where she opened up about married life with Krasinski.
