Decades after pledging to marry her, their preschool friendship blossomed into a love story that defied the odds. Matt Grotzky and Laura Scheele, inseparable playmates at three, drifted apart during school but fate intervened after 25 years. Rekindling their friendship, they embraced a nostalgic journey.
Preschool romances, often dismissed, found profound significance in Matt and Laura’s story. Despite different schools and fading memories, a chance reunion marked the beginning of their adult connection. From preschool pals to high school sweethearts, their bond persisted through separation.
Navigating divergent paths during college, they defied distance using technology. Matt’s grand gesture took them back to their roots, proposing at the preschool where it all began. Their wedding, on December 30, 2016, at the Arizona Historical Society, symbolized the enduring love sparked in preschool.
Their tale, shared on “The Way We Met,” went viral, captivating over 400,000 people and gaining media attention. Today, they thrive in their careers, recently buying a home, and welcoming a new addition—Kirby, their puppy. Parenthood is on the horizon, a testament to their enduring love, laughter, and appreciation for each other. For Matt and Laura, the best part of their journey is cherishing the joy and silliness in each day.
