The tribute was captioned with: "There's no one else I'd rather dance with than you. Happy Birthday, Joe! I love you.

The first lady's words for her husband were too sweet

Jill later took to the social media platform again to share a peek into how the first family celebrated, also revealing the man of the hour's preferred cake to enjoy on his special day.

CNN reported that the wedding falling on the President's birthday weekend was no coincidence

"A perfect birthday celebration filled with so much love – and Joe's favorite coconut cake," the former professor wrote in the tweet.

Stars and fans alike have already wished the President a very happy birthday, with reporters Al Roker and Katie Couric taking to their own Instagram pages to share their photos with and tributes for him.
