Happy Anniversary Mum & Dad!

Normal 8x8 sudoku rules apply.
Every digit is "married" to exactly one other, and married couples share their values. For example, if 3 and 7 are married, then every instance of the digits 3 and 7 in the grid has a value of (3+7), which is 10.
To celebrate your reaching 37 years of marriage on 26/9, the VALUES in a cage must sum to either 37, 26 or 9. Digits and/or values may repeat in a cage.
DIGITS are subject to normal White Kropki and Anti-knight constraints, i.e.:
- Digits separated by a heart are consecutive,
- Cells separated by a Knight's move (in chess) may not contain the same digit.
The external cells may be used as a reference.
Solution code: Row 1 (top) left to right (8 digits)

What a beautiful puzzle and message!
Also it's really amazing how the digits 9, 26 and 37 work together mathematically. A wonderful discovery

A wonderful puzzle on it's own and the thematic dimension makes it even more beautiful. Looks like it's a very colourful marriage:) Also it was refreshing to do some knight sudoku with 4x2 boxes for a change. Thanks!
