In this tragic and unforgettable story it seems that one troubled man dedicated his life to keep two young lovers from getting married. He stopped the wedding, but half a century later something unexpected was uncovered…

They met in college

This is the shocking love story of Janice Rude and Wilson Prentiss. They two met at college in Los Angeles, in 1962. After a whirlwind romance, the two young love birds decided to tie the knot. They knew they wanted to have a small wedding, celebrating their love, surrounded by family and friends.

Their love story began and ended

Janice and Wilson met in the University’s cafeteria, where she was working. After a chance encounter, the two went on their first date and the rest, as they say, was history. They fell in love and became inseparable.

Not what he had in mind

Tragically, she didn’t go through with the wedding.

A father’s explanation

Many years later, Janice explained to AARP Magazine the possible reasons her father was so against her marriage with Wilson.
