We love the Obamas. You love the Obamas. The Obamas love each other. (Also, water is wet.)
So, of course we had to celebrate their 25th anniversary! Issa Silver Jubilee!
Michelle recently posted her tribute to Barack on Twitter and the universe collectively swooned:
Happy 25th anniversary @barackobama. A quarter of a century later, you're still my best friend & the most extraordinary man I know. I ???? you. pic.twitter.com/y0nevQmatB— Michelle Obama (@MichelleObama) October 3, 2017
Although no one can compete with that, we'd still like to do a little something. And so we present to you a brief highlight reel of the couple's sweetest moments:
1. That iconic love dap.
We all know about the "love tap," but Michelle and Barack invented the "love dap." This might've been just a quick moment, and was one of the many times we saw the couple behind a podium, but it is nevertheless etched into our souls as the quintessential "I got you" image of black love.
2. Farewell To America, But Forever Love To Michelle.
We were already in tears to see Barack leave us, but he had the nerve to take it up a notch by calling Michelle LaVaughn Robinson his best friend and someone who has "made the country proud."
And let's not talk about the moment he got choked up! Time for a feel trip!
3. That first dance, tho.
Now that we've talked about the end of the Obama era, let's take it all the way back. Remember that first dance after Obama was inaugerated?
That dance not only held the weight of seeing a black couple dance as POTUS and FLOTUS, but it embodied pure love. The way they were looking at each other?! And Beyoncé singing "At Last" was the cherry on top of a black love pie.
4. No phone for you!
This moment was part of a skit where Barack imagined his retirement, and it has become one of the most beloved memes of the couple. It was the epitome of black love, and reminded everyone and how it is often up to the black matriarch to keep things in check. Barack might have been the leader of the free world, but we all knew it was Michelle who really ran things.
So cute!
5. They know each other. They get each other.
Everyone and their mama has done an impersonation of Barack Obama. So naturally, the woman who knows him best has one in her back pocket as well. This moment during her appearance on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert was super adorable. Sometimes, it's the little things…
6. Kisses in Chief!
The Kiss Cam is a favorite pastime at sports events and the most famous couple of all time got caught. Swooooon!
7.
Even when they argue, they're cute.
Barack appeared on Ellen and talked about the fact that like any couple, they're not perfect. But, what did he say was the secret to how he and Michelle work things out when they're in conflict?
Barack said the bottom line is, "She's always right." And Bingo was his name-o!
8. That. Essence. Photo.
Yes, THAT part. The sheer reverence and love these two have for one another was captured in the West Wing via a single frame. (And Michelle slayed with 'dem curves!)
9. Solid as a rock!
During a 2011 appearance on The Oprah Winfrey Show, Barack put his love for Michelle in three simple words. No, not "I love you," but, "She's my rock."
Cue the Oprah Kleenex!
10. How she knew.
On an interview with Extra TV , Michelle revealed the moment she knew Barack was "the one," came during the time when he was doing community work. This moment was beautifully illustrated in the movie Southside With You.
And to think, that was just a taste of the many years of love the Obamas have shared together. Started from a day-long date now they here.
Congrats, Michelle and Barack! May your love live on for forever and a day!
