The First Couple

Mr. and Mrs. Barack Obama made history when Barack was elected as the 44th President of the United States of America. The couple met in June of 1989 when Obama was employed as a summer associate at the Chicago law firm of Sidley Austin. They began dating later that summer. "We clicked right away...by the end of the date it was over...I was sold," Michelle has said*. The two became engaged in 1991 and the couple married on October 3, 1992 at Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago, Illinois. The reception was held at the South Shore Cultural Center. Michelle looked stunning in her off-the-shoulder white duchess satin gown as they dance to their wedding song, Stevie Wonder’s, “You and I”.
