Two Hearts Beat As One

31 Aug 2022148

"The morning of our wedding day, August 31, 1982, I finally left home…"

It was forty years ago that Bono and Ali got married and to celebrate this special milestone, here's another original animation drawn from Bono’s forthcoming memoir "SURRENDER."

Watch the animation and in the comments below send your good wishes to Ali and Bono.


This striking short film created with Bono's hand-drawn illustrations is another great insight into "SURRENDER: 40 Songs, One Story," which will be published on November 1 and is available for preorder now using the links below.

"Two Hearts Beat As One", written on Ali & Bono’s honeymoon, is a song with special meaning for both of them.

All the best
You've both been an inspiration to me for decades. It can't have been easy at all with navigating the music business and fame on top of ordinary relationship stresses. I hope you're well and continue to be happy.

First song at our wedding too!
29th December 1990, with only a handful of U2 concerts under our belts. Fast forward and the band are responsible for our fabulous globe trekking adventures from the UK, to Germany, Italy, Ireland, France (The Bercy return gig after the horrendous Friday 13th Nov experience), NYC and the land of OZ

un exemple de beautés
tenir un couple avec ses hauts et ses bas n'est facile pour personne, les affres de la célébrité et le rythme de vie imposé par un groupe de rock mondialement connu a sans doute complexifié la tâche alors... félicitation à ce couple qui tient avec la manière, sans perdre leur beauté et bonté d'âme.

You Are Both Blessed!
I believe I remained teary from word one. While I sadly live through divorce, my heart never let go of what you describe about your beautiful wife. God bless you with unlimited love, growth, intimacy. Forever grateful for the sharing of your anniversary in such a transformational way.

Marriage advice from Bono
Me and my wife (fiancé at the time) met Bono and I told home we were getting married in a week! He then looked at me and said “Be careful!” Congrats on your anniversary and since I’ve been been following Bono’s advice, we’ve approaching 18 years married.

40 years de pure love
Congratulations Bono and Ali for 40 years of union. It's not easy at all, I know (I'll be married for 10 years) but if you've reached this date together, it's a sign that you love each other and that you are already part of the other. May God continue the beautiful and making you very happy. Celebrate this beautiful and unforgettable date. You deserve!

Love is bigger than....
Dear Bono and Ali, As someone who has been married and divorced twice, I admire anyone who has such longevity in their marriage, especially when one of the individuals is a rock star, surrounded by drooling women! I was a drooling teenager in the mid 80s with a huge crush on Bono (and Edge) and was so jealous of Ali I couldn't bear to look at photos of her. But now my admiration is sincere and I hold Bono and Ali up as examples of what a true marriage should be. My heartiest congratulations on 40 years, and thank you for sharing this wonderful video! I loved it!!!

She must have been a good teacher!
Happy Anniversary Bono and Ali!

What a journey .I love that you Bono have held Ali close away from us just on the fringes of us the fans to know you are one. Like so many you never put on the alter your duo that so many have sacrificed on behave of success. Ali kept you real and you kept us entertained, Take it easy and God speed Happy Anniversary from NZ

Congratulations
Congrats on your anniversary, I was married 29 years last Saturday. We planned to get married on a Saturday all those years ago, was a huge U2 fan and Chris Roche rang me to tell me U2 had booked Croke Park for one night only, so 6 months before our wedding we changed everything, we got married on Friday, went to U2 on Saturday !!! And have seen the band on every tour. Delighted Ali you got together and helped to steer your husband ( and yourself and family )in the various directions you have travelled. Celebrate
