Former President Barack Obama and former First Lady Michelle Obama are a household name. And although you may be familiar with their strong marriage now, you may not know exactly how they got here.
INSIDER rounded up the Obamas' most notable and romantic moments throughout their 25-plus years together.
1989: Michelle was assigned as Barack's mentor at their law firm.
Barack Obama, then 28, and Michelle Robinson, then 25, met at the law firm Sidley Austin LLP, where Robinson was assigned to be his mentor.
"Because I went to Harvard and he went to Harvard, and the firm thought, 'Oh, we'll hook these two people up,'" Michelle told ABC News.
1989: They had their first date.
Though she was his mentor, that didn't stop the future President from asking Robinson on a date. She said she was not so keen at the time.
"Barack, about a month in, asked me out, and I thought 'No way. This is completely tacky,'" she told ABC News.
But eventually she relented, and the pair went on a date. They started by having lunch at the Art Institute of Chicago, taking a stroll, then ending up going to see the Spike Lee film "Do The Right Thing."
"He showed all the sides – he was hip, cutting edge, cultural, sensitive. The fountain – nice touch. The walk – patient," Michelle later told The Telegraph.
"Take tips, gentlemen," Barack added, smiling.
The date was eventually immortalized in the film "Southside With You."
1991: They got engaged in a simple and sweet way.
The pair got engaged at a dinner that was supposed to celebrate Barack passing his bar exam, they later told ABC News.
"And then the waiter came over with the dessert and a tray. And there was the ring," Michelle later said. "And I was completely shocked."
She told ABC News that he simply got down on one knee and asked. Michelle, of course, said yes.
