Polk County native James Bain made headlines when he was freed from prison nearly two years ago.
Bain spent 35 years behind bars -- for a crime he didn't commit.
DNA evidence finally cleared the wrongly convited man. Saturday evening, Bain started another chapter of his life and got married.
As a free man, Bain said he makes the most of everyday.
"This is a totally different day. It seems to be almost more hectic then the day I got out," Bain said. "Much more hectic."
Bain said he met his wife, Mallelin, at his sister's job and it was love at first sight.
Bain has come a long way from his arrest and wrongful conviction for the rape of a young Polk County boy.
He is the 246th person in the nation to be exonerated by DNA evidence. Of those 246, he served the longest prison term.
