Barack and Michelle Obama — President Barack Obama and wife Michelle.

Happy 20th wedding anniversary to the first couple!

Tonight, the entire country will gather to watch the presidential debate streaming live from Denver. However, for President Barack Obama, today also marks 20 years of marriage to his wife Michelle. The two plan to celebrate this weekend, according to Us Weekly.

"Twenty years ago today, I married the love of my life and my best friend," President Barack Obama tweeted. "Happy anniversary, Michelle."

Naturally, the First Lady responded back to her husband: "Happy 20th anniversary, Barack. Thank you for being an incredible partner, friend and father every day. I love you!"

Aww! The couple was married in 1992 at Chicago's Trinity United with about 200 guests. "Her dress was beautiful," one of the bride's close friends told Us Weekly. "She was happy. She was marrying the man she loves." From photos that we spotted, we'd have to agree.

Now with two children, Malia and Sasha, the first couple is always glowing with one another, giving each other compliments and show each other support.

Although they are unable to relax together during their actual anniversary, the First Lady doesn't mind. "She's just happy that they got to be together for their anniversary," a source said. "Even being together is not a forgone conclusion in the busy weeks leading up to the election."

Congratulations, you two!
