Who can resist romance between the commander-in-chief and the first lady?
Married on
October 3, 1992,
Barack and Michelle Obama have captured our hearts with their love for
one another over almost seven years in the White House — and on the
campaign trail even before that.
Obama mentions his wife in almost every speech he gives. He often
seems unable to resist showering his wife with PDA, even when the
cameras are rolling.
On their 23rd wedding anniversary, we've collected a few of our
favorite photos of America's first couple's most romantic moments — from
their first days in the White House to their everyday moments inside
it.
