South Side: The Obama neighborhood

Trinity United Church: where Barack and Michelle got married

Barack and Michelle Obama were married on October 3, 1992 by Rev. Jeremiah A. Wright Jr. at Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago, Illinois.

Michelle Obama's house

Michelle Obama grew up at 7436 South Euclid Avenue and she lived here until she married Barack Obama. She grew up in this two-story house on Euclid Street in Chicago's South Shore community area. Her parents rented a small apartment on the house's second floor from her great-aunt, who lived downstairs.

Barack and Michelle Obama first kiss

Barack and Michelle Obama met in the summer of 1989, when the partners at the Chicago law firm where she worked asked her to mentor a summer associate named Barack Obama. The pair had their first kiss over a Baskin-Robbins chocolate cone at this place. Now it is not a Baskin-Robbins place any more.
