On October 3, 1992, Barack Obama married Michelle Robinson.

Even before Barack Obama became president in 2008, the Obamas captured America’s hearts with their love for one another. While president, Obama mentioned his wife in nearly every speech, and it’s obvious (via social media) he often showers her with PDA. Post-White House, their love continues to inspire.

On Wednesday, the former president wished his wife a happy anniversary. “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,” he wrote on Twitter.

They’re still going strong.
