Michelle and Barack Obama are celebrating 31 years of marriage, and like every year, they take to social media to share touching tributes to each other to celebrate the milestone. The couple met in 1989 while Barack was a summer associate at Michelle's law office. That very same summer, the couple went on their first date, and three years later, in 1992, they walked down the aisle and said, 'I do'.

"Happy Anniversary, sweetheart! Michelle Obama, you're brilliant, kind, funny and beautiful - and I'm lucky to call you mine." Last year, when the couple reached three decades of marriage, Barack gushed about how youthful Michelle looked as he got older. "Miche, after 30 years, I'm not sure why you look exactly the same and I don't. I do know that I won the lottery that day - that I couldn't have asked for a better partner."
