They Met When They Were Little Kids, And You’ll Melt When You See What They Just Did

Preschool is an exciting time in a child’s life.

In most cases, it’s their first time getting to spend time with other children their age for more than just a playdate here and there. And when children are interacting so closely together, it’s only a matter of time before puppy love develops.

For three-year-olds Laura Scheel and Matt Grodsky, it was almost like love at first sight. The two were nearly inseparable and did everything from playing on the swings and eating string cheese together. Grodsky was absolutely smitten with his adorable friend.

At one point, Grodsky stood in front of his entire preschool class to declare he was going to marry Scheel one day.
