Julius and Detra first met 40 years ago at Hawkins Skating Rink. They were childhood sweethearts for awhile but then continued to grow up and grow apart. Until they reunited through Facebook. Detra married, had two boys and divorced. Julius never married. Was he waiting for Detra? I think so.

I was happy to officiate at their beautiful wedding at the Sheraton Suites in Cuyahoga Falls. It was a very hot day and humid day so we were happy to be in air conditioning although nerves were making everyone perspire a bit. Detra was as nervous and excited as she could be and looked beautiful in a full length lace gown. Julius was very handsome in an all white tuxedo. Detra’s two grown sons walked her down the aisle. Wishing them much love and happiness in their life together.
