Laura and Matt met in daycare. “One of my earliest memories,” Matt says, “is standing in front of the whole group as a three-year-old and saying I’m going to marry her one day.” They spent a lot of time together as children. He says, “I was in love with Laura then, and I still am now.”
Like many couples who have been together virtually their entire lives, the two lost touch for a while: “Eventually, when we went to elementary school, we lost touch for the next seven years. We only saw each other on the Christmas cards our families exchanged.”
Finally, in high school, thanks to a mutual friend, they began to communicate again and immediately understood each other: “Two weeks later we decided to become engaged.”
Matt and Laura’s love managed to survive all the twists and turns of adolescence. The fact that they went to different schools somehow prepared them for what awaited them: the kids went to study in different states!
“We stayed together even after a long distance relationship when we went to colleges in different states.” On May 23, 2015, Matt proposed to Laura right where it all began: in the backyard of their daycare center. Following a long tradition, the two married and became family, and their friends and family rejoiced with them.
