Answer: 1983

Some sites give his year of marriage as 1982 - Denzel confirmed the year as 1983 in an interview with celebsite.com: "I've never been the most romantic man. I proposed to her over the phone. I was working at the time on St. Elsewhere. And when we got married in '83, I was doing A Soldier's Play on stage.

After the wedding, on Sunday, I had to be back at Tuesday night's show, so that was our big two-day honeymoon." They have four adorable kids together. They renewed their vows in South Africa with Archbishop Desmond Tutu officiating in 1995.
