Not many people find love in preschool, much less a soul mate. However, the story of these two preschool sweethearts has warmed the hearts of thousands of people worldwide for many reasons. Theirs is a story of two kids who formed a true bond and became inseparable from the minute they set eyes on each other.

Matt and Laura first set eyes on each other when they were three. This was made possible by the fact that they attended the same preschool in Phoenix. Although their family wasn’t close, they gravitated toward each other in unexpected ways.

Matt was playing around when he spotted Laura on the playground. He was immediately drawn to her and didn’t hesitate to move closer. No one paid attention to them, as many kids were bonding on the playground that day.

Little Laura was unimpressed by Matt when she first saw him, and who could blame her? Her first thought was that Matt looked like a goofball as he followed her around the entire playground. She wasn’t wrong; the parents admit that Matt followed Laura like a moth drawn to the flame. 

From the minute Laura interacted with Matt, the rest became history. There was no separating the two from that moment on. They were joined at the hip and insisted on doing everything together. It was clear that these two had created a bond like no other. 

The kids weren’t left alone in the creation of bonds. Soon, the families couldn’t resist the bond their children were creating and had to start interacting. Theirs was a beautiful friendship, and neither parent wanted to break them apart.

There was no other word to describe the two best friends other than that they were inseparable. It was not surprising that Matt was always in the lead. He picked Laura to be his partner in school and when they would take field trips.

The two besties didn’t just spend all their time in school; they also came home and spent most of their time together. With the families now close, they had lots of after-school playdates together. The pair would go to movies together, and Matt’s hand was always ready to comfort Laura when a scary scene came on. 

Even though Matt was young, his main focus most of the time was impressing Laura. He participated in many activities to keep her attention. His favorite amongst it all was reciting lines from her favorite Disney shows.

Matt was about getting Laura’s undivided attention, so he was ready to do anything. Although Laura also enjoyed spending time with Matt, she loved to indulge in other activities. How was Matt to keep up? He learned them all.

Laura and Matt made many sweet memories that would last them a lifetime. Their parents loved to take cute pictures of the two, hoping to capture the memories in a frame. 

Matt was only three years old, but he was certain that his relationship with his best friend, Laura, would last. To prove this, he stood before his preschool class and declared that he would marry Laura one day.

At first, everyone was surprised, but soon, the entire class was filled with laughter. No one took what Matt said seriously, even though the little boy meant every word he said.

Preschool was soon over, although Matt and Laura wished it weren’t. Matt and Laura’s parents were surprised at how fast time had passed. They were reluctant to do anything that would hamper the friendship between the kids. 

Looking at their friendship, you would think the children would never be separated and just might attend the same kindergarten. However, the parents had very different plans. Like parents, they had views of what path their children should take, and they were opposing.

Matt and Laura’s parents sent them to two different kindergartens. They didn’t have a deliberate discussion to discuss this, and both parents strongly believed they were making the right choice for their child. 

Although it had broken their hearts to be apart, the children still tried to maintain their connection after entering kindergarten. But things were now different; they couldn’t see each other daily, which took a toll. 

Time passed so quickly that they were getting ready to start middle school before Matt and Laura knew it. The two friends had slowly grown apart during kindergarten, and they wondered if this milestone would be an even bigger challenge for them.

The two families tried to stay in touch for the next seven years. However, they could only do this through the annual Christmas cards. The families tracked Matt and Laura’s development through these cards.

Out of sight was out of mind for Matt and Laura. Being in different schools meant they were forgetting each other. They made new friends and new memories that pushed the memory of each other to the far end of their minds.

Matt and Laura were now on a new path and thought less and less of each other. Middle school was ending, and they got ready for high school. This was the most exciting chapter of their schooling, and they no longer cared about the friendship forged in preschool. 

Once again, the long-lost best friends from preschool enrolled in different schools. If there was ever any hope for a reunion or reconnection, it was completely gone now. Life continued for the two as they navigated the unknown territory of high school.

One day, Laura was scrolling through her friend’s phone when she came across Matt’s phone number in the contact list. How could this be? She didn’t think it could be real and was ready to dismiss it as another Matt.

Upon questioning, Laura’s friend quickly shared how she knew Matt, as they had attended the same middle school. Laura couldn’t help taking a trip down memory lane and shared with her new friend the preschool friendship she had shared with Matt.

Laura’s friend loved the story of the preschool friends and wanted to set them up again. However, Laura was skeptical about the idea. She wasn’t ready to reignite the embers of a long-lost friend, and she declined the offer.

Matt soon sent Laura a text, and reluctantly, she agreed to meet up with him again. They went to the movie theater, and it soon seemed like no time had passed between them. The friendship was soon reignited, and within two weeks, they started dating. 

They were soon inseparable like they were in preschool. However, just like before, a new milestone was heading their way, threatening to tear them apart as it once did. It was time for college, and they had both chosen different colleges.

They didn’t want what happened in preschool to happen again when they left for college. So, they promised to stay together and prepared for a long-distance relationship. They were determined to make it work, and they did.

It was clear to both that they were soulmates and weren’t willing to let the distance jeopardize their relationship. That was when Matt came up with the idea that would change both of their lives.

Matt was determined to create a symbolic moment that was a testament to their unique story. Although he was anxious about his plans on the ride over, Matt wanted to see it through. Arriving at the scene, Laura was in complete shock at the scene, but the best part was yet to come.

The couple married in December 2016, and their story proved true love exists. The song for their first dance was Elton John’s “Can You Feel the Love Tonight?” They shared their beautiful story with the rest of the world and soon became popular.
