So Cute Pre-School Sweethearts Meet Again Three Decades Later

A Florida couple who met on a dating website and fell in love have only just realized they were actually preschool sweethearts when they were three years old.

Justin Pounders, 33, says he was 'instantly drawn' to Amy Giberson, also 33, when he came across her photo online.

'I can't explain it, but I knew I had to get to know this girl,' Pounders told People.

The two began texting and talking on the phone, before soon planning a first date in their home town of St Petersberg.

However they quickly worked out they had both gone to Sunshine Preschool.

Each went to their parents and asked them to dig up some photos.

'Justin's mom found a photo of the two of us together and I just started crying, I was ecstatic,' Giberson said.

'I was the Amy he had liked all those years ago! It was definitely meant to be.'

Pounders added: 'Someone or something definitely decided we weren't supposed to reconnect until now.'

'We've been so close to finding each other this whole time but didn't until the time was right. And that's now.'

Even one of the preschool teachers, Diane, remembers the two and their courtship.

'They had a blast with each other,' Twar told People.

'It was a quiet, bashful romance. They liked each other from afar, it was a young love, like a sweet crush, you know? 'They insisted on sitting next to each other in our school picture.'

Pounders said he intends on proposing, but is waiting for the perfect time
