The couple decided to head to the courthouse and get their marriage licenses. They then learn that they could marry on the spot! “It wasn’t the plan, but we got here and they said, ‘we could marry you here.’ I said ‘good, let’s get it over with,'” John Cook says.

Meet the couple who just got married

The two had been dating for about a year before they decide to marry. “To tell you the truth, we fell in love with each other. I know you think that maybe a little bit farfetched for somebody our age, but we fell in love with each other,” Phyllis says.

The two had both lost previous spouses in the past and just felt lucky to have one another. “We were just compatible in a whole lot of ways, found ourselves enjoying each other’s company,” John explains.
