It makes sense. The groom was a member of Public Enemy.
Robin Dugger and Norman "DJ Terminator X" Rogers were married Saturday, Nov. 17 at Residence Park Church of Christ, 4328 Hoover Ave. in Dayton.

Romance was not even an option for the pair back then.
“He was with someone else. I was with someone else,” said Dugger, a Toledo native raised in Dayton.

Dugger next saw Rogers in passing in Los Angeles in 2013 when he and the rest of Public Enemy were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
Sparks didn’t fly until November 2017 when Rogers contacted Dugger to say he would be performing in Michigan.
A manufacturing worker for 22 years, Dugger was working at a plant in Flint, Mich. at the time and took the opportunity to reconnect with Rogers.
The romance was sealed.
“He wasn’t going to let me go, and I wasn’t going to let him go,” Dugger said. “We have been inseparable since.”
Dugger is now an assembly line manager at Ford’s Sharonville plant. Rogers, who was raised in Columbus, now lives in North Carolina.

The pair, both members of Residence Park Church, is trying to decide where to settle.
Dugger said marriage was far from her mind before Rogers came along.
“We both say it is nothing but God,” she said of the union.
