<\/p>\nLove stories have a habit of taking unexpected turns. In a heartwarming story that started almost twenty years ago, <\/p>\n
Matt Grodsky announced his intention to marry his preschool classmate Laura Scheel when he was just three years old. <\/p>\n
What what appeared to be pure childhood love developed into an amazing journey of love, parting, and finally, a lifetime commitment.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
When Matt Grodsky and Laura Scheel were three years old, their love story began in preschool classes. <\/p>\n
Enthralled with Laura’s presence, Matt attempted to win her over with his impressions of movie quotes, especially from The Lion King. <\/p>\n
Their first recollections are characterized by play dates, parent-supervised movie outings, and the carefree allure of childish emotions.<\/p>\n
When most kids were preoccupied about sleeping mats and lunches, Matt bravely confessed his love for Laura in front of their preschool buddies one day.<\/p>\n
Not caring about the ensuing chuckles, Matt said with assurance, \u2018Just you wait.\u2019 They had no idea that it would take some time to make good on that promise.<\/p>\n

The young couple lost contact when they attended different elementary schools, as fate would have it. <\/p>\n
But their families’ yearly Christmas card exchange offered a window into one another’s lives. <\/p>\n
Only in the autumn of their first year of high school did Laura get back in touch with Matt because she was intrigued by a friend’s discovery. <\/p>\n
Despite going to different states for education, their friendship developed into a romantic partnership.<\/p>\n

Matt and Laura faced the difficulties of a long-distance relationship when they enrolled in different colleges more than 1,600 miles away. <\/p>\n
Using technology to help them communicate, they resolutely set up a visitation schedule and watched Friends on Netflix together when they were apart.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
Approaching their final year, Matt brought Laura back to their preschool on May 23, 2015, the starting point of it all. <\/p>\n
He got down on one knee with an engagement ring he had bought two months earlier, a dramatic turn of events leading up to his proposal. <\/p>\n
The proposal was made with a heartfelt picnic basket\u2014the same one Matt’s father used to pop the question to his mother\u2014and was seen by Matt’s brother. <\/p>\n
Sparkling cider and bridal magazines complemented the scene. Laura, of course, responded with a resounding and deeply felt \u2018yes.\u2019<\/p>\n
On December 30, 2016, Matt Grodsky and Laura Scheel exchanged vows following a journey spanning more than two decades. <\/p>\n
Grodsky\u2019s uncle, who presided over the ceremony, skillfully summed up Matt and Laura’s special love tale by <\/p>\n
highlighting the fact that, in contrast to most children, Matt and Laura were searching for their soul mates.<\/p>\n
