Early Days

The former POTUS and FLOTUS first met in 1989, while they worked together at a Chicago-based law firm. Michelle, who was also a Harvard Law alumna, was assigned to be his mentor.

Power Couple
Their first date consisted of a long walk, the Chicago Art Institute and, of course, ice cream. Obama said in a 20th anniversary video, "I offered to buy her ice cream. And then bought her some chocolate ice cream. And I think that is what put her over the top. That’s where she said, 'This guy knows how to treat a woman.' That was our first kiss!" The pair have been #CoupleGoals ever since.

Saying 'I Do'
After getting engaged in 1991, the pair wed in Chicago on Oct. 3, 1992.

Forever Kind of Love
Michelle wrote of her husband and their wedding day on Instagram, "You can’t tell it from this photo, but Barack woke up on our wedding day in October, 1992 with a nasty head cold. Somehow, by the time I met him at the altar, it had miraculously disappeared and we ended up dancing almost all night. Twenty five years later, we’re still having fun, while also doing the hard work to build our partnership and support each other as individuals. I can’t imagine going on this wild ride with anybody else." Michelle Obama

Finishing Touches

True Love's Kiss
According to Michelle, "Barack didn’t pledge riches, only a life that would be interesting. On that promise he delivered."

She's Got His Back
In 2008, when he was still just a presidential hopeful, a proud Michelle hugged her husband on the campaign trail.

Say Cheese!
These two even manage to make campaigning look fun! Joe Raedle

Sweetest couple of all time

She has always been in the picture...

Team Players
The couple fist bumped in 2008 at a campaign rally after Barack became the official nominee for the Democratic party.

The First Couple
The pair had their first dance as President and First Lady when Barack Obama was inaugurated in 2009.

He Only Has Eyes for Her
After the 2009 Inaugural Ball, the Obamas look the elevator straight to Cloud Nine, and this photo is proof!

Roll Out
Needless to say, the pair rolled into their next eight years in style

P.D.A.: Presidential Display of Affection
In 2009, Barack hugged his wife while in the Red Room of the White House — which is also where they gave their last interview to PEOPLE as POTUS and FLOTUS in 2016.

Taking a Spin
The pair danced together at their second Inaugural Ball in 2013, smiling like two kids in love. Chip S

Lots of Laughs
Barack told Marie Claire in 2008 about his wife's best qualities. "Anybody who knows her well knows she's got the best sense of humor of anyone you'd ever want to meet," he said of Michelle. "She's the most quintessentially American person I know ... She's just a wonderfully normal, levelheaded person. Any American woman who meets her would immediately identify her as a fellow traveler."

Always There
Even the leader of the free world needs a helping hand every now and then.

The Look of Love
Get someone who looks at you the way that Barack looks at Michelle

Hype Man
Even as the President of the United States, Barack knows that his wife is always the star! "There's no doubt I'm a better man having spent time with Michelle," he told Vogue in 2013, "I would never say that Michelle's a better woman, but I will say she's a little more patient." Chip

Saying Goodbye
Barack gave his wife a kiss as they left the White House in January 2017.

Rock Solid
After leaving the White House, the pair went on a vacation to Joshua Tree, and "pushed" around this big boulder. Fitting, considering Barack has called Michelle his rock. He told Oprah Winfrey in 2011, "Obviously I couldn't have done anything that I've done without Michelle. Not only has she been a great first lady, she is just my rock. I count on her in so many ways every single day."

Nice photos... So?

The care, respect for each other and the love is genuine.

Michelle has always supported her man and never wanted to steal the attention from him.

Wow!

Now I am jealous

They seem quite close.

O lord I need a woman that will understand me and have the same vision like me. A good woman is hard to find in nigeria, most of them na gossip, urgent 2k, money, slaying, snapping pictures, and bleaching full their brain. You will hardly find girls who is willing to start at the foundation with u

Sweet couple.
