Jon Bon Jovi, the American singing legend, married his high school sweetheart, Dorothea Hurley, in 1980. In a recent chat with People Magazine, the singer recalled how he tied the knot with his wife of 35 years, Dorothea.
Bon Jovi and Hurley’s whirlwind wedding took place in Las Vegas during a night off from the band’s New Jersey tour. The couple had a sudden urge to get married and decided to head to Vegas on a whim. They exchanged vows with a taxi driver as their witness.
The news of their marriage shocked many, including the band, management, agents, lawyers, parents, and the public. However, Bon Jovi stood firm in his decision to live his life for himself and Dorothea, not for others.
Despite the initial shock, the couple has remained happily married for 35 years. Bon Jovi believes that their impulsive wedding decision was a beautiful moment, and he is grateful that they have been able to share a long and loving life together.
