The two, however, had a different plan when they went to the courthouse to get their marriage license last week. It was there that they were told they could get married 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 who is a World War II veteran told CNN affiliate WNWO.
John and Phyllis had been dating for a year when they decided to tie the knot.

“To tell you the truth, we fell in love with each other. I know you think that may be a little bit farfetched for somebody our age, but we fell in love with each other,” Phyllis said.
Both John and Phyllis have lost two spouses in the past.
The newlywed couple is grateful to have another chance at finding love for the third time.

Now spending the rest of their lives together enjoying meals and sitting in the sun in their mobility scooters at the Kingston Residence of Sylvania, John and Phyllis absolutely adore each other.
Nevertheless, the two also agreed to give each other space.
“We were just compatible in a whole lot of ways, found ourselves enjoying each other’s company,” John said followed by Phyllis, “What we do, we keep both of our apartments. He’s upstairs, and I’m down.”
