3-year-old promises to marry his childhood sweetheart – 20 years later he pops the question

Not everyone is fortunate enough to meet the one they desire to spend eternity with. True love is difficult to find, but once we discover it, we should never let it go.

Matt Grodsky and Laura Steel have known one other their whole lives. Their families were great friends, and they spent a lot of time together. Furthermore, they both attended the same preschool and enjoyed spending time together.

Matt stood in front of his class when they were just three years old and declared his intention to marry Laura one day. Everyone felt that was incredibly sweet, especially coming from someone so young. The truth is that no one ever expected this promise to become a reality.

“We have many fond memories of each other. Matt recites movie lines and scenes from “The Lion King,” as Laura teaches Matt to doodle and swing. “We had playdates at each other’s houses and watched movies with our parents,” they told Obsev.

After preschool, Matt and Laura attended different elementary school and would only see each other on the Christmas photo cards their families sent to each other.

Years passed by, and these two were reunited once again during high school. They instantly fell for one another and started dating. Unfortunately, after finishing high school, they attended different colleges which were some 1,600 miles apart. Laura went to Northern Arizona University, while Matt went to Columbia College Chicago.

They could easily call their relationship quits, but their love was so strong that they came up with suitable visiting schedules.

Long-distance relationships can be hard to maintain, but when it comes to true love, nothing is impossible, and Matt and Laura are the perfect proof of that.

During their senior year, Matt popped the question. He had his friends capture the lovely moment on camera.

“I was like, ‘Oh my gosh, is this happening?’” Laura told Today. “I saw the ring and was like, “This is gorgeous. I’m so happy with it.’”

Matt’s uncle, who officiated the marriage, said: “For most kids in preschool, it’s about finding your snacks and your sleeping mats, but for them it was about finding their soulmates.”

Matt and Laura are so happy to have found each other. How many couples can say they have known each other their entire life?
