The first lady dazzled in her strapless champagne gown, the creation of an Indian-born designer.

On her arm, traditional Indian bracelets.

The menu eco-friendly and diverse , a potato and eggplant salad made with White House grown arugula.

Another environmentally conscious touch, the Obamas hiring a new florist for the occasion, the tented dining room adorned with sustainably harvest magnolia branches and ivy.

另一個環(huán)保意識舉措是奧巴馬夫婦為這一場合雇用了一位新的花農(nóng),帳篷形的餐廳裝飾著可持續(xù)收獲的木蘭樹枝和常春藤。

A place for us.

The entertainment—can't miss headliner Jennifer Hudson, though the White House wouldn't let her performance be photographed.

And the Washington crowd included former Secretary of State Colin Powell, New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg, and a slightly bewildered energy secretary.

To the future that beckons all of us...

Let our two great nations realize all of the triumphs and achievements that await us. Cheers.

讓我們兩個偉大的國家認識到所有的等待著我們的成功和成就。干杯。
