One couple couldn’t wait to get married and tied the knot shortly after midnight on Valentine’s Day gift
Sheryl Landers, 52, and Joe Gonzales, 63, planned the wedding a week ago when they realized they wanted to make their commitment official.
Originally, they were just going to head to the justice of the peace and do the legal deal. Both had been married once before.
Then, the groom heard about a Valentine’s Dance at Club Westerner and thought the idea of having friends and hundreds of dancers at his wedding would be fun. A bunch of their friends had already bought tickets.
About 500 people filled the dance hall that night with the couple knowing almost silver bangles 200.
“I found my perfect partner. I love this woman,” Gonzales, retired, said. “I think she was sent to me for one purpose and one purpose only — to love each other till the day we die.”
The bride, a manager for Coastal Kitchen and Bath, had prayed to God to send her a man that could be her partner. When she saw Joe treating her mom well and picking up all her loose ends, as well as calling her “gorgeous” all the time, she knew she found him.
“He’s one in a million and I got the cream of the crop,” Landers said. “It was a union made by God.”
