The stunning Blake Lively just turned 36 and Ryan Reynolds had the sweetest message for her, as he wrote, "The only thing irrevocably mine in the world is the love and appreciation and awe I feel for this person."

Now, this is the time most fans would pause and take a deep breath, waiting for Reynolds to crack a joke and turn the rest of the message funny, while not detracting from its emotions or meaning. But this time, Reynolds shot straight from the heart, further writing, "Witnessing her life is something I couldn’t take for granted if I tried. And believe me, I try. Happy Birthday, @blakelively. You hung the damn moon."

Whether he tries to take her for granted or not IRL, he definitely tried and succeeded in writing a love poem to Lively, making Katie Couric comment, "Can you teach my husband to post something like this RR????? ❤️ Happy birthday Blake!"

Chelsea Handler also left out her usual snarky comedy as she wrote, "You guys are pretty ducking cute."

Reynolds even posted the sweetest pictures of Lively, with no fingers up any nose, and no funny crops either, so even the Instagram account of Facebook wondered, "Did Blake pick the photos this year?"

She certainly does look stunning!

Of course, many fans appreciated the love and romance oozing out of the pictures and words, with some saying they broke down and cried. Another went so far as to say that if Reynolds and Lively ever split, they'd go jump off a cliff!

But there were plenty of other fans who seemed to miss Reynolds' customary humor in the post, wondering what was going on with comments like...

"Wow, a genuine birthday post. The world is dying"

"What's going on?? it's actually a non-unhinged bday post!"

"No roast? Everything good?"

"What happened to Ryan ? An actually good birthday wish post. Is the world coming to an end?

Even singer Richard Marx had similar thoughts, writing, "Wow. You left her face in every photo. That’s some serious love. HBD!!!"

Since Reynolds seemed to have left his humor behind and got into some gooey romance, Lively decided to be the funny one on her birthday, letting the world that while she doesn't drink alcohol, she certainly "eats it!"

Of course, much like Reynolds, other celebrities like Gal Gadot, Salma Hayek, David Beckham, Michael B. Jordan, and more sent her straight-up birthday messages.

Meanwhile, Gigi Hadid also had a more personal message for Lively with a throwback picture, which "The Age of Adaline" actress also posted on her IG stories.

That said, all Blake Lively is eyeing for her birthday, is Hollywood. To be specific, she's eying celebrity chef Paul Hollywood, barging into his house and wanting him to try her brand of pre-mixed alcohol drinks, Betty Booze. As Hollywood wonders how she made the drinks given she doesn't drink, Lively confirms it but also says she "eats" alcohol - listing "bourbon and whipped cream, sherry vinaigrette," adding that she's really hard-pressed to find anything that she cooks minus the alcohol.

So does this mean she gets Paul Hollywood's "Hollywood Handshake?" Watch the video below to find out. We'll give you a hint, as Hugh Jackman wished Lively, "The (non)handshake is everything. Happy birthday to my friend Miss @bettybooze"

Happy Birthday Blake Lively!
