An extremely lucky Chicago couple had the greatest wedding this weekend because former First Lady Michelle Obama officiated. TMZ posted footage of Obama leading the couple, Stephanie Rivkin and Joel Sircus, through their vow exchange.
As the outlet noted, Rivkin is the daughter of Chicago's deputy mayor, Robert S. Rivkin, and Cindy S. Moelis, the former director of the Presidential Commission on White House Fellows that Barack Obama appointed. So it's likely her parents' ties to the Obamas that got the former first lady on board to be part of the ceremony.
The couple wed at Theater on the Lake, and the New York Times reports that Robert Dresser, a friend of the couple who became a Universal Life minister just for the event, also officiated the nuptials.
