Jon Bon Jovi recalls eloping with his wife Dorothea in Las Vegas ahead of their ... trends now
Jon Bon Jovi and his wife Dorothea Hurley will impressively celebrate their 35th wedding anniversary next Monday.
The 62-year-old Bon Jovi frontman recalled the moment he decided to elope with the 61-year-old JBJ Soul Foundation founder during a break on his band's New Jersey Syndicate Tour in 1989.
'We were in Los Angeles, California. The band was on the road on the New Jersey tour, and if you opened up the curtains of my hotel room, there's a big billboard of the five of us [Bon Jovi band members] staring into my window,' Jon said in his People cover story on Wednesday.
'My girlfriend, who was my fiancée at the time, we had a night off and I said, "I need a higher high. I got an idea let's go to Vegas now." And she said, "Now?" I said, "Now." And we went and didn't tell anybody. The taxi cab driver was our witness. And in about a month from now, it'll be my 35th anniversary so we got it right, you know, got it right the first time.'
