Comedian Patton Oswalt posted a wedding photo on Twitter to mark the first anniversary of his wedding to actress Meredith Salenger.
"One year ago today I married @MeredthSalenger, who stepped into this lost widower's life, and swept him and his daughter up out of the cobwebs and into the sunlight. I will never be able to repay you, baby, but I'll never stop trying," Oswalt captioned the image of him and his bride smiling and dancing.
Oswalt married Salenger 18 months after his wife Michelle McNamara -- a writer and the mother of his 9-year-old daughter, Alice -- had died. An undiagnosed heart condition and complications from prescribed medicine were to blame for her 2016 death.
"It feels like an evolution," Oswalt said as he announced his marriage to Salenger last year. "After the darkness, I went through all the ways I had to strengthen myself to try to recognize joy again. Meredith was a beacon I had to reach for."
