Hill and Bailey tied the knot on Oct. 10, 2020. Though Monday was their second wedding anniversary, they did not acknowledge the occasion.

Their wedding planning and ceremony were featured in season 13 of the Bravo reality show, which marked Bailey's final season after joining in season 3. Fans also saw Hill propose in season 12 of RHOA.

Six months after the ceremony, Bailey opened up about married life while on the PEOPLE Every Day podcast.

"I have to say, after we finally got past the wedding, now my focus is on, after finally getting married again, staying married," she told host Janine Rubenstein. "Just trying to create that balance between working."

At the time, Bailey pledged to put marriage first, saying, "You get the man, then you got to keep the man. You got to keep that husband happy. So just readjusting to the new world and how everything has changed, and just still taking 'me time' because I was able to do a lot of that in the pandemic, but also wife and husband time. But Mike and I are great."
