High School sweethearts who divorced in 1965 remarry 55 years later!

Not many people are lucky enough to experience true love once in their lifetime - never mind twice! A Nevada couple has been given a second chance at love - over 50 years later, and they are not taking a moment for granted. The adorable couple was interviewed by People Magazine. Dennis and Diane Reynolds shared that they never expected to remarry when they connected in July 2019, nearly 55 years after divorce.

In February 2020, that stance changed as the pair rekindled a strong flame first felt in their teenage years. The couple tied the knot again in November last year and now the couple are focused on their next chapter.

Vietnam War Veteran Dennis, with the help of Veterans United Home Loans, is set to build his wife's dream home in Las Vegas.

How cute!

So, when did this love story begin?

It began at Sun Valley Junior High in Los Angeles, the two were just 13. Though they went on to attend different high schools, that didn't stop the duo from pursuing a romance.

At age 15, their relationship became official.

Five months after their courtship and finishing off high school, they got a married. Not long after that the couple welcomed two boys. Like most marriages, their relationship was not without problems.
