Couple engaged 30 years ago says ‘I do’

EVANSVILLE, IN (WFIE) – An Evansville couple engaged to be married 30 years ago finally said their vows.

Terry Devoy and Michael Schmitt said their ‘I do’s’ at the Ritzy’s Fantasy of Lights display in Garvin Park.

Devoy works for St. Mary’s and Schmitt works for the IBEW.

Both organizations are affiliated with Ritzy’s, so that’s why they chose to be married there.

The couple was engaged 30 years ago and things just didn’t work out, but earlier this year, the couple rekindled their relationship after running into each other on an online dating site.

“I feel God released him to me,” Devoy said. “At one point he gave my engagement ring to the church and asked God to bring me back to him. So I think this is all really beyond me.”

“I don’t think we are the same people we were 30 years ago,” Schmitt said. “I think both of us have grown a little bit. I think I’m more in love with her now than back then.”

Appropriately, Devoy and Schmitt got married in front of the Santa’s castle and Victorian marriage proposal displays.

They said Christmas time is the time when miracles happen.
