Preschool sweethearts wed after matching 30 years later on online dating site

From the moment Amy and Justin Pounders met, they knew they had a special connection. What the newlyweds didn't realize then, however, is that they actually knew each other from preschool.

After meeting on Match.com, it took a month for them to realize what they had in common.

"He pointed out a scar above his eye. He proceeded to tell me how he [had] gotten it from falling off monkey bars at preschool. He then said, '... Sunshine Preschool,'" Amy recalled, adding that when she heard the name of the preschool she realized it was the same school she had attended as a child.

Justin then told his now-wife, "Don't you remember me telling you my first crush was a girl named Amy?"

"That's when I lost it. I knew right then, I was this Amy," the bride continued.

Spooky action at a distance. Quantum entanglement proven in Atlanta.

Sweet. MrR and I were preschool sweethearts, friends in Jr High and High school. Lost track of each other until after I moved back home from Utah, transferred in the company I worked for - no knowing he worked for the same company and ended up being his boss. We decided that God was trying to tell us something. Married over 20 years now.

The cynic in me is wondering..what if Match found a hometown couple and asked them to get married for a payment ? Great promo for the site. Match has been sued for fraud before.

My current wife and I dated in high school and saw the last of each other in May of 1981. After a divorce from first ex wife in 2006, I looked her up on Facebook and found her in Anchorage in 2009. We corresponded for the better part of a year before we met. We were married in July of 2012 and are very very happy. Fate is something else.
