In the bleak aftermath of the Las Vegas mass shooting that took place on Sunday, Michelle Obama is supplying us a much-needed ray of light and love.
The former first lady uploaded a photo to Twitter celebrating her and Barack Obama’s 25th anniversary, leaving her “best friend” and husband a sweet message paired with a black and white photo from their wedding.
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

Naturally, the internet began flooding Michelle’s mentions with adorable GIFs, photos, and memories from the Obamas’eight-year tenure in the White House alongside messages of how missed they are.
For your anniversary we would like to gift you back America. Please come back

Even Sen. Kamala Harris of California chimed in with love for the iconic couple.
Happy Anniversary to my favorite First Couple!! May you enjoy 25+ more years of bliss together. We love you!! 😘🤗❤️❤️

The former president has yet to share his own message on social media, but judging from past public displays of affection toward his wife, it is sure to be equally amazing. Barack made waves online just last week after he admitted to crying when he dropped off their eldest daughter, Malia, at Harvard for college.
In the meantime, we can bask in the warmth and affection of past photos of the two showing off their #relationshipgoals.
