Sharon & Archie Ackley – A lifetime of love FINALLY sealed together!

Sharon & Archie look at each other

A lifetime of love was FINALLY sealed on October 29, 2016.  Sharon & Archie met back in highschool, ages 17 and 15yrs old.  They fell in love on their first meeting.  He finished high school and as he was leaving to enlist in the military, Sharon asked him about dating others while he was gone hoping he would say no.  Well, he said that they should date others.  Sharon eventually fell in love with someone else.  They married, had kids and built a life together.  After 43 years together, her husband passed away and Archie found Sharon via Facebook!!

 

They reconnected and found love again in each other.  He proposed and Sharon said “Yes!”

Sharon & Archie had a great time at their reception with their guest.  There was dancing and entertainment/games with the DJ Scott Faver of The Party Favers.  He played the music that the diverse age group wanted to hear and dance to.  Scott also showed music videos, a slideshow that featured pictures from their yearbooks and letters that they had sent to each other way back when.  He also came to the wedding ceremony, captured some pictures and was able to get them loaded into the slideshow to show during the reception!!!  Scott had 4 wardrobe changes.

    Thank you Jeryse for posting our love story. You captured the essence of our story. Teresa did a great job with the photography and Scott was an awesome DJ. Thanks for pulling everything together especially with all my health issues. All of the vendors did a spectacular job. Central United Methodist Church and the Wrigley Mansion were beautiful settings for our wedding.
