Barack Obama surprises Michelle with a heartwarming video to mark their anniversary
For years, Barack and Michelle Obama have been giving us marriage goals and they did it again during their anniversary.
The former US president surprised his wife in a sweet way as they
marked their 25th wedding anniversary on Tuesday. While Michelle was in
the middle of a talk with television producer Shonda Rhimes at the
Pennsylvania Conference for Women in Philadelphia, Barack crashed the
talk with a surprise video.
Barack appeared on screen at the conference near the end of a
57-minute talk by Michelle. He apologized to the attendees for having
to "crash this party," before letting his wife know what she means to
him.
Obama began: "Pardon me Shonda Rhymes but I have to crash this party
because today, we have been married for twenty-five years. "
At this, the crowd cheered and Michelle blushed while Barack
continued: "Now, the idea that you would even put up with me for a
quarter of a century is a remarkable testament to what a saintly,
wonderful, patient person you are. It was a lot easier for me to do it
because the fact of the matter is that not only have you been an
extraordinary partner, not only have you been a great friend, somebody
who could always make me laugh, somebody who would always make sure that
I was following what I thought was right, but you have also been an
example to our daughters and to the entire country."
He added: "Your strength, your grace, your determination, your
honesty, the fact that you look so good doing all this, the way in which
you've always taken responsibility for your own actions but also for
looking out for the people around you is remarkable. And it's no wonder
that as people got to know you the way that I got to know you, they fell
in love. And It is truly the best decision that I ever made to be
persistent enough, asking you out on a date, that you finally gave in.
And I hope you feel the same way. So, I don't want to interrupt the flow
of what I'm sure is a fascinating discussion, but I figured that you
wouldn't mind maybe me parachuting in just to say how much I love you
and how much I appreciate you."
Michelle smiled and blushed after listening to the message and she said: "I better get home!"
His surprise video came after Michelle had posted a photo from their
1992 wedding on Instagram with a sweet message for Obama on their
anniversary.
Michelle's message reads: "Happy 25th anniversary @barackobama. A quarter of a century later, you're still my best friend & the most extraordinary man I know. I ? you."
