Last year, in October, the couple celebrated their 30th wedding anniversary.

Barack and Michelle Obama are one of the internet's favourite couples and we keep on gushing about their cute love story and strong marriage. The former first lady appeared on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, four years ago, to promote her book, 'Becoming'. During the interaction, she shared some lesser-known facts about her marriage, including how the 44th US President originally proposed to her. Now, the same video is going viral and people are absolutely loving the details.

Barack Obama proposed to Michelle Obama at a restaurant in Chicago. However, the "hotshot lawyer" picked up a fight with her over the topic of marriage and misled her into thinking that he was not sure of it right now. She was referring to the time in 1989 when she was given the responsibility of mentoring Barack Obama at their law firm. It was a celebratory dinner as Mr Obama had passed his bar exam.

"He made an argument out of it (the proposal)," Michelle Obama said on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert.

She continued telling the host, "We would have these deep discussions about whether marriage was really necessary if two people loved each other, and he would make his lawyer-ly arguments and I would be irritated. And that's how he decided to propose to me by starting that argument at dinner."

Michelle Obama then states that she started making her points as a lawyer. "He picks a fight, and so I deliver, because I too am a lawyer and I have my points to be made. And by then, dessert was coming out and the waiter put a platter in front of me with a little box, with a ring on it."

She could not believe it at first because the waiter put the ring in front of her while they were having a heated argument. "And in the middle of the argument, I was like 'Whaaat? He opened up the box and he said, 'Now that ought to shut you up.' And it did," she told the host.

Last year, in October, the couple celebrated their 30th wedding anniversary. To mark the occasion, the former President shared a few pictures on Instagram including a photo of himself resting his head on his wife's shoulder while at the beach. Other pictures included their names engraved in a heart in the sand and a black-and-white wedding photo.

Michelle Obama insists she played no role in helping embattled FDNY Commissioner Laura Kavanagh secure her position.

Rumors ignited within the FDNY that Obama gave Kavanaugh a former campaign staffer for her husband, Barack a glowing endorsement and urged New York City Mayor Eric Adams to promote her to commissioner last year, sources told The Post.

Now, nearly a year into the job, sources within the department are complaining she was wrongfully appointed thanks to her lofty connections.

Shes essentially a PR person without any firefighting experience, and sheslost the respect of the force, said one of the sources.

A spokesperson for the former first lady shot down the allegations that she had a hand in Kavanughs promotion.

Michelle Obama was never involved in any way with Commissioner Kavanaghs appointment to the FDNY, Obamas office told The Post in a statement.

Kavanagh, who cut her teeth working on campaigns for Barack Obama and other Democratic politicians beginning in 2006, was named the interim chief after former Commissioner Daniel Nigro retired in February 2022.

Adams waited more than seven months to name Kavanaugh, 40, to the top job.

A spokesman for Adams also strongly denied that Obama was involved in Kavanaghs hiring and referred The Post to the citys press release announcing her appointment in October 2022.

New Yorkers and New York CitysBravestdeserve an exceptional leaderand CommissionerKavanagh has the vision, the skills,and the compassion to lead the FDNY into the future, said Adams in the press statement.

Thereleasealso featured quotes from politicians, including US Rep. Yvette Clarke (D-NY) of Brooklyn. Kavanagh worked for Clarke in 2008.

Kavanagh the first woman in history to become commissioner of the more than 17,000-strong force whipped up turmoil among the FDNYs rank and file after she demoted three high-ranking fire chiefs this week. In response, two other FDNY bigwigs, Chief of Department John Hodgens and Chief of Operations John Esposito, voluntarily sought their own demotions, in protest about reportedly being kept in the dark.

Hodgens is one of the most honorable individuals I have ever met, said former New York City firefighter and now attorney Pete Gleason. I have no doubt that she [Kavanagh] undermined his ability to be the uniformed leader of the FDNY, and that shows how treacherous she is. Shes demoting people and she is supposed to run it past him. What she created is a very public embarrassment for the FDNY.

Before joining former Mayor Bill de Blasios administration, where she spearheaded public health campaigns with former first lady Chirlane McCray, California-born Kavanaugh worked for the Advance Group, according to her LinkedIn page. She is listed as the companys vice president of campaigns and elections, and worked for the Democratic lobbyist between 2006 and 2012, when she went on to head up get-out-the-vote operations in Pennsylvania for the Obama campaign.

She became a senior adviser to de Blasios campaign in 2013 and began her career at the FDNY as director of external affairs in 2014. Since then, Kavanagh has risen through the ranks despite having no experience as a firefighter.

As deputy fire commissioner, she partnered with McCray in November 2020 to launch a mental health initiative allowing crisis counselors to be dispatched through 911 calls instead of the NYPD.
