"Laura and I met in preschool. One of my very first memories is of being 3 years old and standing up in front of my pre-school class, declaring that I would marry her someday. As kids, Laura taught me how to ride the swings, draw rolling hills, and the 'right way' to properly eat string cheese. We have fond memories of playing hide-and-go-seek, chasing after each other on the playground, and mischievously staying up during nap time. I was enamored with Laura as a child, and I still am to this day. Eventually, we lost touch upon entering our Elementary School days and for the next seven years, our family's annual Christmas cards was the only way we ever saw each other's faces. It wasn't until High School that we reconnected by happenstance through a mutual friend. Within two weeks, we decided to be boyfriend and girlfriend. We continued to date through out all of High School, even though we went to different schools. We even stuck together long-distance while attending colleges in different states. We remained a resilient couple until May 23rd, 2015 when I decided to stay true to my preschool pledge and make Laura my wife. I proposed to her at the place it all began... our preschool classroom."

Most people don't remember many details from when they met the person they'd go on to marry, but Matt Grodsky does, which is especially impressive because he met his wife, Laura Scheel, when they were in preschool together.

On TheWayWeMet Instagram, Matt recalled being three and telling his class that one day he would marry Laura. He explained that she taught him how to ride swings, draw hills and eat string cheese, and that they'd stay up together during nap time.

They lost touch after preschool and wound up at different high schools, but fate brought them together again and distance couldn't keep them apart. They started dating through high school and, even though they were even farther apart, in college as well.

Then, on May 23rd, 2015, Matt followed through with his preschool pledge and proposed to Laura - where else but their preschool classroom.

They have since gotten hitched and proven to everyone that true love exists!
