They were high school sweethearts at Dublin's Mount Temple Comprehensive School, and were married August 21, 1982, at a ceremony in Raheny, Dublin.
Ali ’s a wife, mother, social crusader, environmental activist, friend of supermodels and fashion plate. She’s the stunning brunette with the million-watt smile charming world leaders, soothing children and outshining the rich and famous, always impeccably dressed and wearing amazing shoes. She’s Alison Hewson, and she’s so much more than simply Bono’s wife.
The pair began dating when Ali was 15 and Bono was 16. “It was November, actually 25 years ago, I joined U2 and I started going out with Ali, so it was a good month,” Bono recalled on “Larry King Live” in 2002. Ali worked in motor insurance and with her father in his electrical business after leaving Mount Temple. On Aug. 21, 1982, Bono and Ali were married.
Bono recalls her in their high school days...
" And I remember this girl who was so beautiful and so completely unaware of it. I mean, she used to wear Wellington boots and gabardine, and there was just no vanity. And I thought that this was just the most attractive person I'd ever seen, a completely unself-conscious beauty." -
Once he forgot her birthday he compensated with the creation of "Sweetest Thing" for her.
"Blue-eyed boy meets a brown-eyed girl Oh oh oh, the sweetest thing You can sew it up but you still see the tear Oh oh oh, the sweetest thing Baby's got blue skies up ahead But in this I'm a rain cloud Ours is a stormy kind of love Oh oh oh, the sweetest thing..."
The video shows a clearly regretful Bono asking for forgiveness with "a little help from his friends"
Ali and Bono Hewson: A Celebration of Love!! Congratulations!!!
