Love is in the air. Rebecca and Vawiljam met on the Hamilton County Courthouse lawn Thursday to pledge their love, but more than 10 years ago they professed their love on a different patch of grass. We first met each other in the third grade and I asked her out on the playground, said Vawiljam. The elementary school sweethearts went their separate ways after primary school, only to run into each other again more than 10 years later. She was telling her guess who you're standing in front of and it happened to be an elementary school sweetheart, he said. How many other couples can say something like that? Vawiljam said the attraction was instant. I was just mesmerized. She was as beautiful as she was when we were kids.The simple sight of one another was all it took for the couple to reunite. It wasn't much longer after, when Vawiljam took a knee in front of all of Rebecca's coworkers one night, two years ago today. We knew we wanted to get married on Valentines day and we just picked this year, she said. The couple says they plan to have a wedding celebration later on in the year.
