The power couple has come a long way since meeting in 1989 while working at Sidley Austin law firm in Chicago. Michelle was 25 at the time and was assigned the role of assisting Barack with settling into the firm.

They got to know one another, started dating, and then, two years after meeting, got engaged. Barack surprised Michelle by proposing during a romantic dinner.
