Just like in the star-crossed love stories(read fairytales) we all heard with swoony eyes of our childhood, Canadian radio and TV personality Marilyn Denis loved someone, then was estranged for a whopping forty years, but then with the turn of fate got engaged to him.

The Canada-native is famous as the host of long-running radio show Roger, and Marilyn (previously Roger, Rick, and Marilyn) and her own Television show The Marilyn Denis Show.

Fairy Tale Love Story: Engaged To High-School Sweetheart After 40 Years Apart

On 8 May this year, Marilyn announced that she was engaged to her high-school sweetheart and prom date, Jim. Apparently, forty years before becoming her fiance and then husband, Jim took Marilyn on a high-school prom date.

After that, due to varying circumstances, the couple lost touch. Fast forward forty years: Marilyn and Jim meet again and reconnect, and as if nothing had changed become fiances, then husband and wife.
