00:00Everyone laughed when he vowed to marry her in preschool, but look at him now
00:14He was extremely nervous he had vowed to marry her, but they hadn't been in touch for several years
00:20Some claim that true love is a myth
00:23But imagine if you knew who you were destined to be with from a young age
00:27Love is a beautiful puzzle
00:30Everyone deserves to be loved by someone and for him that someone was in the same classroom as him
00:35His classmates just looked at him and laughed at what he said
00:39They had no idea that he was a man of his word and was going to honor it once he
00:44was older
00:47Matt Grodzky and Laura Sheil went to the same preschool in Phoenix, Arizona
00:52These two adorable kids were only three years old, but they'd formed an inseparable bond
00:57Everyone was flabbergasted by their connection. It was so unique and magical
01:02But most people assumed that their link would eventually snap and that's exactly what happened
01:08They hung out at the playground a lot and eventually became best friends
01:12Grodzky was a goofball from the start, which is what Sheil found so appealing
01:16They laughed and explored the world
01:19Parents and teachers marveled at Grodzky and Sheil's joined at the hip friendship
01:23They thought it was simply adorable, but they never thought it would lead to anything
01:27And in a sense they were right
01:29The young couple would eventually prove everyone wrong
01:33The two best friends spent as much time as possible while in school
01:37They also planned ahead so that they could spend more time together on the weekends
01:42These two ended up creating some memorable times together
01:45Then one day Grodzky did something so shocking that the entire classroom made fun of him
01:51He stood in front of everyone and told them he loved Sheil
01:54Just you wait he exclaimed as he added that he intended to marry her
01:59No one was going to take the word of someone who was three years old
02:03But as they got older life took them in different directions
02:07By the time they were ready for kindergarten these adorable kids wound up in two separate schools
02:13Despite this obstacle they did as best as they could to stay in touch
02:16Unfortunately their friendship grew farther apart with the passage of time as they continued their journey through elementary school
02:23The two lovebirds became perfect strangers. They met other people made new friends and new memories
02:30Seven years later she'll saw a photo of Grodzky and the feelings she felt in preschool
02:35flooded her psyche and her heart
02:38By the time Grodzky and she'll started high school. They were further apart
02:42But then one day the sparks they once had were reignited like magic
02:47During the start of her freshman year she'll was scrolling through her friends contact list on her phone
02:52Then she saw Grodzky's name
02:55She became flushed at the mere sight of his name and her friends noticed it, too
02:59So they asked her what was up
03:02Then she'll told her friend about her childhood sweetheart
03:05Once she did her friend came up with a brilliant plan
03:09She'll's friend decided to reunite her with her preschool love interest
03:13So she came up with a plan to set them both up, but she'll had other ideas. I
03:19Was a freshman in high school. So I was like, I don't think so
03:22She'll told people but her friend decided to reach out to him anyway
03:26She'll was anxious about the whole thing, too
03:28But then Grodzky surprised her in such an amazing way that all the butterflies in her stomach flew away
03:36Shortly after she'll got a text from Grodzky. They both decided to meet
03:39Neither of them knew what to expect
03:42Especially since so much time had passed
03:44It turned out that they still had chemistry together
03:47They went to the movies and it was magical. It felt as if they had never drifted apart
03:52They were officially dating two weeks after Grodzky texted Sheil
03:56But the two weren't out of the woods yet. They still had several more obstacles to overcome before getting there
04:02happily ever after
04:04Grodzky and Sheil saw each other every week and they made the best of their time they had together
04:09But then college came along and they knew that this would be difficult on their relationship
04:15Right after we graduated from high school. We were pretty hesitant said Sheil in an interview with people
04:19We were like do we stay together? Do we try to make it work?
04:23It seemed as though destiny was going to split them up, but they decided to fight for their love
04:29Sheil enrolled at Northern Arizona University. Well Grodzky moved to Chicago and enrolled at Columbia College
04:36Even though they lived several miles away
04:38They decided that nothing would keep them apart again and still Sheil had no idea that Grodzky's declaration of love
04:45and preschool was just as strong today
04:48During their senior year of college Grodzky decided to surprise Sheil in one of the most adorable ways ever I
04:55Convinced Laura that we were going to a picnic at the preschool. We had just finished up our junior year
05:00of college
05:00So I framed it as a nice relaxing date
05:03Grodzky told Huffington Post
05:05When they got to their intended destination Grodzky got down on one knee and popped the big question
05:12Yes, she'll exclaimed. I was like. Oh my gosh. Is this happening?
05:17Everything had gone according to Grodzky's plan. I
05:20Proposed to her at the place. It all began our preschool classroom
05:24When you like someone you just kind of stand up and say it Grodzky said in an interview
05:30He knew from the very moment
05:31He laid eyes on her that he wanted to marry Sheil and as soon as he put the ring on
05:35her finger the floodgates opened up
05:38This is gorgeous. I'm so happy with it. I had no idea
05:41Sheil exclaimed
05:42But the couple didn't know their love story would make the news
05:47In December 2016 Grodzky married Sheil just like he'd vowed that he would nearly 20 years earlier
05:53Grodzky's uncle officiated the ceremony and described the bride and groom's relationship as for most kids in preschool
05:59It's about finding your stacks and your sleeping mats, but for them. It was about finding their soulmates
06:06Then one day the couple woke up and realized their names and faces made headlines on social media
06:13Shortly after they got hitched Sheil went on social media and shared the story of how he and Grodzky met
06:19She shared a social media account called the way we met and it told the story of their love
06:24The post had a caption in which Grodzky explained other love began. I
06:29Was enamored with Laura as a child and I still am this day. He wrote
