Librarian Laura Welch met George W. Bush in July 1977, at a barbecue held by mutual friends. Bush had a previous engagement that fizzled out, but sparks flew quickly between him and Welch. He proposed to her in September of that year, and they wed two months later. They had fraternal twins, Barbara and Jenna, in 1981. After George’s 2000 presidential win, Laura focused on education and literature awareness as first lady.
