Michelle's sweet tribute to Barack Obama on 25th wedding anniversary

Michelle Obama has written a special post to her husband, former US President Barack Obama, in honour of their 25th wedding anniversary.

The former first lady wrote, "Happy 25th anniversary @barackobama. A quarter of a century later, you're still my best friend & the most extraordinary man I know. I [heart] you."

Along with the tribute, Michelle shared a black and white photo from their wedding day on October 3, 1992.

The couple first met in 1989 in Chicago while they were both working in a law firm.

Michelle was assigned to be Barack’s mentor during his time as a summer associate.

25 years since their wedding, the power couple have accomplished a lot together, including raising their two daughters, 19-year-old Malia and 16-year-old Sasha.

Malia has recently started college and Barack Obama shared just how hard it was for him to drop her off. 

"I dropped off Malia at college, and I was saying to Joe and Jill (Biden) that it was a little bit like open-heart surgery, and I was proud that I did not cry in front of her," he said.

"But on the way back, the Secret Service was off, looking straight ahead, pretending they weren't hearing me as I sniffled and blew my nose. It was rough."
