Michelle Obama and her husband Barack Obama have cause for celebration today, as the two are marking their 31st wedding anniversary.
The former President and First Lady of the United States met back in 1989, when the Becoming author, then 25, was assigned to mentor her future husband, then 28, at the Chicago law firm they worked at, Sidley Austin LLP.
The two went on to tie the knot on October 3, 1992, in Michelle's native Chicago, Illinois.
To commemorate their 31st anniversary, the former marketing and intellectual property lawyer took to Instagram to share a sweet tribute to her hubby.
She posted a candid photo of the two seemingly on vacation, where she is wearing her hair in braids, donning a printed knit dress and a smile on her face, cozying up next to her equally smiley husband, who is in a gray linen short-sleeve button-down shirt paired with white pants.
"31 years, and a lifetime to go," Michelle endearingly wrote in her caption, adding: "I love going through life with you by my side, @BarackObama. Happy anniversary, honey!" next to a red heart emoji.

God bless you both," as well as: "That's love right there in human form! Happy Anniversary," plus another one of her followers added: "Happy 31st Anniversary to my favorite President and First Lady. I hope you have a great day."
