Prom Dates Wed 64 Years and a Lifetime Later

A couple of high school sweethearts accompanied each other to the senior prom and then got married ... 64 years later.

81-year-olds Joyce Kevorkian and Jim Bowman were a high school couple in Indiana and spent one of their last nights together at the senior prom in 1953. They went their separate ways to different colleges where they each met their future spouses. Joyce was married for 53 years before her husband died and Jim was married for 58 years until his wife's death.

Then one day, Jim started thinking about Joyce and wondering where she might be. So he did a little Internet sleuthing and found her address. He mailed her a letter and Joyce responded a few weeks later.

Many more phone calls and emails followed and the two suddenly rekindled their long-lost romance. Then Jim visited Joyce and they realized they hadn't changed that much.

Jim says, "We both like fun things and we both still have a good sense of humor and can laugh at each other. We both still liked to dance, we both love music and reading and hiking still." Then one day Jim asked if Joyce "wanted to pick up where we left off 64 years ago." 

So on April 1st, surrounded by close friends and family, the couple exchanged vows and got married at Joyce's senior living facility. (People)
