Flora Dilworth dated Oscar "Bus" Allen for a while way back when, but they eventually parted ways and ended up marrying others, the Dayton Daily News reported Thursday.

But, surrounded by friends and family in Troy, Ohio, the couple -- both widowed -- tied the knot Sunday.

Dilworth had married her high school sweetheart in 1942 and the two had eight children. Allen married in 1943 and had nine children.

In August, Dilworth visited Allen at a retirement community in Dayton, and the rest is happy history.

Allen's son said his father was "new fellow" after reconnecting with Dilworth.

Dilworth's son also noticed a change.

"She perked up," he said. "She wasn't so lonely anymore because many of her friends have died or moved away."

The couple are honeymooning in Siesta Key, Fla.
