In Preschool, He Told His Class He Would Marry Her. 20 Years Later, He Did.

Coincidentally, Laura spotted Matt’s name in a mutual friend’s cell phone. The friend wanted to play matchmaker with the two, but Laura wasn’t sure of the idea at first.

“I was hesitant to go out with him,” she said. “But he texted me and we hit it off.”

The two began dating each other exclusively within two weeks. Although they attended different high schools and ventured off to colleges in different states, they stayed together. Long distance wasn’t easy, but they made it work.

He brought her back to the preschool where they first met and popped the big question. Laura originally thought they were going on a celebratory picnic date to end their junior year of college.
