Michelle Obama Shares Amazing Throwback Photo From Wedding to Barack: 'We're Still Having Fun'


The reason we believe in true love pretty much starts with a Michelle and ends with a Barack. The former First Couple thrills us every time they pop into our lives to show each other affection or to announce joint ventures, so we’re absolutely ecstatic to hear that Michelle Obama will be on our Instagram feeds a lot in the next few days as she shares amazing throwback photos from her new memoir, Becoming. Today’s image might be the most touching one yet: It’s an adorable shot of Barack removing her garter belt on their wedding day, and its captioned with the sweetest story.

“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,” Michelle wrote in the caption. “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.”

We’re not crying, you’re crying. Honestly, we’re not at all surprised to hear that Barack magically healed in time to keep up with his wife on the dance floor (we’ve all seen her moves). The best part is this is just the beginning: Michelle announced in an Instagram post yesterday that more of these heartfelt memories will continue as she teases the new book. Her first picture was a beautiful ode to her parents, Fraser and Marian, whom she honored by eloquently listing out all the ways in which they had shaped her.

“My father, Fraser, taught me to work hard, laugh often, and keep my word. My mother, Marian, showed me how to think for myself and to use my voice. Together, in our cramped apartment on the South Side of Chicago, my family helped me see the value in our story, in my story, and in the larger story of our country,” the caption reads.

She later posted a picture of herself as a student at Princeton, where she graduated from in 1985. In the caption, she discussed how scary it was to be a first-generation college student and black woman in a majority white student body. She explained that she’d never “stood out in a crowd or a classroom because of the color of my skin before,” and celebrated the close friends and mentor “who gave me the confidence to be myself.” Being the endlessly supportive champion she’s always been, she of course used the moment to uplift recent graduates.

“Going to college is hard work, but every day I meet people whose lives have been profoundly changed by education, just as mine was,” she wrote. “My advice to students is to be brave and stay with it. Congratulations to the Class of 2018!”

Becoming is reportedly part of a joint deal the Obamas struck with Penguin Random House, estimated at an “excess of $30 million,” according to The Hollywood Reporter. Michelle revealed that she was writing a deeply personal memoir back in February and said the book would cover her journey from the South Side of Chicago to becoming one of the country’s most empowering public figure. She shared, ” I hope my journey inspires readers to find the courage to become whoever they aspire to be. I can’t wait to share my story.”

We can’t wait to hear it! The book comes out on November 13, and we’ll be the ones camped out at any and every public reading Michelle does.

    The ’80s weren’t exactly the best decade for hair, but you can’t deny that Tina’s gravity-defying volume is totally giving you life right now.

    Joan Jett and Darlene Love, 1985

    It’s hard to say what’s the most ’80s thing about this photo, so we’ll call it a tie between Jett’s dramatic mullet and Love’s straight bangs ‘n’ big curls combo.

    Before curly bangs were back, they were Paula Abdul’s. Looking back, we don’t get why they ever left. (The blue sequins on the other hand…)

    The Bangles, 1988

    Never a band that took to blending in—as evidenced by the videos for their ’80s punk-rock anthems like “Walk Like an Egyptian” and “Manic Monday“—The Bangles rocked a level of hair color, texture, and style variety not seen again until The Spice Girls.

    So many iconic things happening here, where do we even start? Obviously, there’s the Marilyn wig. (Wig, right? That’s got to be.) And then the brows! Who didn’t pluck theirs into oblivion because of Drew? And could this perhaps be the inspiration for her makeup line, Flower?
