Barack Obama Posts Sweet Message to Michelle on 30th Wedding Anniversary : 'I Won the Lottery'

Barack and Michelle Obama honored their milestone anniversary with touching tributes to one another

Barack and Michelle Obama celebrated their 30th anniversary on Monday with heartfelt messages and personal photos.

The 44th president, 61, shared a sweet carousel of memories on Instagram, including a photo of himself resting his head on Michelle's shoulder while at the beach, their names engraved in a heart in the sand, and a black-and-white wedding photo.

Affectionately calling his wife "Miche," he wrote in the caption, "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 life partner. Happy anniversary, sweetheart!"

Mrs. Obama, 58, also showed love to her partner on their momentous day, and tweeted, "Happy anniversary to the man I love! These last 30 years have been an adventure, and I'm grateful to have you by my side. Here's to a lifetime together. I love you @BarackObama," along with heart emojis. She also included side-by-side photos of them during a beach day and on their wedding day.

We share the same 12 or 13th great grandfather on our mothers’ side. I was so overjoyed to learn this from a relative you does genealogy. However, I’ve yet to make it to the family reunion guest list 😬
