"Happy anniversary, Miche! Over the past 29 years, I've loved watching the world get to know you not just as a daughter of the South Side, but as a mother, lawyer, executive, author, First Lady, and my best friend. I can't imagine life without you," he lovingly wrote.

Barack shared a photo embracing his wife

The couple married at the Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago, and held their reception at the South Shore Cultural Centre. Michelle looked stunning in a gown that featured a statement Bardot neckline and long sleeves whilst her bridesmaids wore matching black gowns.

The couple's love story began when they met at a law firm, where Michelle was actually asked to mentor Barack.

Michelle told ABC News about her surprise proposal: "We were at a restaurant having dinner to celebrate the fact that he had finished the bar.

"And that was supposedly the reason. And then the waiter came over with the dessert and a tray. And there was the ring. And I was completely shocked."
