MARIETTA, Ga. -- It all started when Donnie Gooding asked Jessica Wilson to be his Valentine.

The high school sweethearts were thrilled this past week, when the big day arrived.

After Jessica and Donnie's story first aired, others in the community reached out to make their prom an affair to remember. A salon did Jessica's hair and makeup, a boutique gave her jewelry, and a florist designed their corsage and boutonniere.
