All love stories are special and offer a wonderful escapism, giving hope to us all, but very few stay with us.

Raymond and Velva Breuer’s unforgettable love story is one that’s got the whole nation talking.

Raymond and Velva spent most of their lives together. They grew up in the same city, were in the same class in elementary school and graduated from the same high school.

In trying to get Velva’s attention Raymond didn’t leave the best first impression when he tapped her with a hot poker, he didn’t realize was hot, leaving her with a scar.
