Janice told the news station, “I found out not too long ago that we have lived in the same house, and all these things were coincidental. And I knew him right away when I first saw him.”

After finding out that the two of them lived so near to one another, they got together frequently and would often go out on dates. They began seeing each other every day for the entire year.

88-year-old Jim told the news station that the two of them just wanted to stay together all the time. After spending a good amount of time together, it felt natural for both of them to get married.

The couple said their vows amid their family and friends, who witnessed the special moment at Portage County Courthouse. Only moments before kissing his bride, Jim exclaimed to all that he felt like he was 21-years-old.

Janice was then asked one of the most important questions of all regarding why she loved Jim. It didn’t take her long to answer that.

“He’s a very calm man and he’s very loving,” she told. “That’s why I love him because he loves me.”

Some people are truly made for each other and their profound love shows us that they always belong together.
