Happy Anniversary to Avril Lavigne and Chad Kroeger!
The 29-year-old "Hello Kitty" singer took to Twitter to share a picture of she and her husband celebrating their first wedding anniversary. The 39-year-old Nickelback frontman gifted his wife with a massive 17-carat ring.
"I still can't believe my 1 year anniversary gift. 17 carat emerald cut. Wow. I love my hubby," Lavigne tweeted to her 16.3 million followers, along with a picture of herself, her husband and new the ring.
Morgan Shara of MAS Creative provided an expert opinion to E! News, saying, "Emerald diamonds are one of the most classic and elegant cuts. Avril's ring could be anywhere from several hundred thousand [dollars] to in the millions, depending on color and clarity."
In August 2012, Kroeger presented Lavigne with an impressive 14-carat pear-shaped diamond engagement ring. A year later the couple married in Chateau La Napoule in Mandelieu, France in front of 110 guests.
Lavigne, who was once married to Sum 41 frontman Deryck Whibley in 2010, wore a black lace Monique Lhuillier gown and carried a black rose bouquet down the aisle. The singer told People Magazine that the two do not go more than two weeks without seeing one another.
"When you've got that ring on your finger that you get to look at every single day, and you get to call that other person husband or wife, it's a really special feeling," Kroeger told Hello! Magazine. His wife added: "We hope to be together forever. One day down the road we'll have a family. I look forward to growing with Chad."
