Man and woman meet at Obama rally earlier this year, just got married!
Sweet story I heard today at the Greensboro rally:

An elderly couple from Greensboro just happened to meet each other at an Obama rally in Iowa last year when they were visiting their respective children. Sparks apparently flew and the man asked her to talk over a cup of coffee. When they discovered that they were both from Greensboro, they agreed to meet up back in North Carolina.

Well, apparently Obama rallies can be matchmaking events because this couple married last month and came to the rally today to commemorate how they met or something.

I don't know...just incredibly sweet I thought. Both were in their 70s I would guess and just looked so incredibly happy.

5. I really should have taken pictures, others did
Maybe one of those people will post them online. I'd love to see them contacted by the Obama campaign.
