See Barack and Michelle Obama at Their First and Last State Dinners, Side by Side

Before the Italian prime minister arrived at the 2016 state dinner, Michelle and Barack exchanged matching grins.

Gursharan, Michelle, Manmohan, and Barack stood proudly in their group photo.

A similar group photo was taken at the 2016 event.

Barack and Michelle have similar senses of humor, so we can only imagine what they were laughing about here.

Barack and Michelle helped their guests inside from the North Portico of the White House in 2009.

The group made their way inside to the soirée in 2016, which included a menu prepared by celebrity chef Mario Batali and a guest list full of celebrity couples, including Jerry Seinfeld and his wife and Gwen Stefani and Blake Shelton.

With members of the military standing guard, the new president and first lady looked crazy in love in 2009.

Seven years later, Barack still looks at his wife with the same level of awe.
