Couple proves love is real with Obama-themed engagement shoot – AOL

We've all heard the way former POTUS Barack Obama talks about his wife Michelle. Ever since the Obamas came into the political spotlight, we were given #relationshipgoals on a silver platter. We've seen first hand the amount of love that goes into the Obama family -- Michelle and Barack have openly (and proudly) showed their affection and appreciation for each other -- not just through hand holding and slow dancing, but through words.
Most recently, in his farewell address, Obama brought the room to tears when he thanked Michelle for her support over the past 8 years.
And of course, while they both talk so sweetly about their daughters as well, there's nothing quite like the Obama love story.

So, it makes sense that one young couple opted for an Obama-themed photo shoot to channel and emulate the Obama relationship. Cassi and Adam, from Cleavland, teamed up with photographer Natasha Herbert to replicate some of the most iconic shots of the former first couple -- and the stunning photos have since gone viral.

They even included their own versions of Bo and Sunny -- take a look in the slideshow above!

The White House photographer Pete Souza writes"The President was ready to announce the news about the mission against Osama bin Laden and was putting the finishing touches on his statement in the Outer Oval Office. As he did so, the networks broke in with bulletins confirming that bin Laden had been killed and a photograph of him appeared on the television screen in the background near the Vice President and Press Secretary Jay Carney."

Souza says "One of the most memorable moments of the year was when the President hugged Rep. Gabrielle Giffords as he walked onto the floor of the House Chamber at the U.S. Capitol to deliver his annual State of the Union address."

Pete Souza reveals an interesting fact about this photo: "The President hugs the First Lady after she had introduced him at a campaign event in Davenport, Iowa. The campaign tweeted a similar photo from the campaign photographer on election night and a lot of people thought it was taken on election day."
