“Happy Anniversary, @MichelleObama. For 26 years, you’ve been an extraordinary partner, someone who can always make me laugh, and my favorite person to see the world with,” the former president tweeted along with a picture of his wife peering out of an airplane window.
Michelle retweeted her husband’s message with a heartfelt tribute of her own. “Thank you @barackobama for 26+ years of love, trust, and respect – for being a man who always lifts up and honors me and our wonderful girls,” she wrote.
