“Seventy years ago this very day, Barbara Pierce of Rye, NY made me the happiest, and luckiest, man on earth,” wrote Bush, garnering thousands of retweets and favorites.
Having been married for seven decades, George and Barbara are far and away the longest-married presidential pair.
Bush met his future wife at the ripe age of 16 when the two were at a dance.
The former first couple got a lot of love on social media for their January 6 anniversary.
