High School Sweethearts Fall Out Of Touch, But Fifty Years Later They Find Each Other Online

You never really know just who you are going to end up with in life. You could meet someone in high school and spend the rest of your lives together, or you could find your soul mate when you are a divorced 50-year-old. Some couples find one another early on, lose track of them, and get together years later.

That is just what happened to a couple from Milwaukee, Wisconsin. They found out that when love is meant to be, it happens, no matter how much time has passed! Two high school sweethearts were able to meet up again after being out of contact for over 50 years.

Curtis Brewer and Barbara Cotton loved each other very much when they were in high school together. They did so much together while in their teen years, such as attending both the junior and senior proms.

However, life often has other plans for kids in high school. After Curtis graduated, he moved away to college. Barbara stayed back home.

While the two never formally broke up, Barbara had to put her five brothers first when her mother passed away. She stayed to raise them and soon fell out of touch with her high school love.

It wasn’t until they both signed up for Classmates.com that they found one another again, 50 years later! Barbara was the one who decided she was going to reach out and get in touch with Curtis. Curtis quickly replied to her. It didn’t take long for the two to rekindle the fire they once had!

They ended up dating long-distance for the first couple of years. However, Curtis decided that it was time to pop the question after that. He barely was able to get the words out when Barbara said yes!

The two lovebirds got married on January 5th, 2019. It was 57 years after they first fell in love, but they were glad it finally became official!

To celebrate their love and happiness, the pair decided that they would travel the country together in an RV. They even have a GoFundMe set up to help fund their dream.
