JOHNSTOWN - A Johnstown couple tied the knot Wednesday morning, but it was a wedding with a twist.
Greg and Amy Brown got married inside Conemaugh Memorial Medical Center’s Good Samaritan Chapel.
A promise to stay together forever, to love and to cherish, in sickness and in health.
But, it wasn't sickness that brought these two to together, but love and maybe even fate.
“We were actually born on the same day, in the same hospital, within 10 minutes of each other, with the same attending doctor and nurse,” Amy Brown said.
Their mothers' rooms were side by side at Mercy Hospital.
Greg and Amy Brown knew each other in high school and even graduated together from Westmont Hilltop together in 1987.
“I remember sitting in our science class and someone said, ‘Hey, when is your birthday?' to him. He said, 'April 17 (1969),’ and I remember thinking, ‘Well that’s my birthday, too.’
“But I didn’t’ think anything of it.”
Amy Brown says it took until their 25th reunion, in 2012, and said that's when they learned they were born at the same time and within close proximity.
“I was amazed by that,” she said. “It’s so neat, and it's like fate put us together; we were supposed to be together.”
On Wednesday, they officially were married.
“I think it’s very special,” Amy Brown said. “We started our lives here in the world as babies and now we're starting our married life, here, together, today in the same hospital chapel."
“When I saw her after decades, I just knew it,” Greg Brown said.
They are now together until death do them part.
