Preschool Friendship Becomes Lifelong Love Born in New Delhi in 1993 and adopted by U.S. government workers, Laura was brought to America and enrolled in a Phoenix preschool where Matt had just started. They met there, felt an immediate pull toward each other, and remained close throughout their lives. Matt was drawn to her infectious energy and bright smile, calling her the happiest and most sincere person he knows. He even proposed in preschool, but they agreed to wait until they were older and better prepared for life.
