Who would ever believe a dating site- Match.com - could bring back two childhood love birds after 30years apart. But it happened!
When Amy Giberson, 34, and Justin Pounders, 34, of St. Petersburg, Florida, met on Match.com, they knew right away that they had something special. Little did they know they were childhood lovers at Pre-School.
The chemistry between them was so intense after their first date was at a restaurant on December 3, 2014.
"I was hopeful that those love stories
Nicholas Sparks wrote about were actually real and that I'd have a great
love one day," Amy said. "But I never expected this!" "Never give up on love and love will never give up on you."

Two months later, the happy couple got an even better surprise.
Amy told Cosmoplitan.com, "Justin
casually mentioned he always liked my name because his first crush was a
girl named Amy in preschool. I joked and said 'Well it wasn't me, so I
don't want to hear about this Amy.'"
But, wait a
second, it was. About a month later, Justin was rubbing a scar on his
forehead and told her the story of how he got it by falling off the
monkey bars at Sunshine Pre-K — the same school that she had attended!
Amy's mother dug threw some old photos and sure
enough, there was one of little Amy and Justin sitting right next to
each other in Pre-K.
On November 19, 2015, Justin proposed live on The View, with the help of a bunch of kids at their old pre-school.
A year later, this past weekend, the childhood sweethearts tied the knot at the Mahaffey Theater
in their hometown of St. Petersburg, amid custom-made glasses with palm
tree prints in honor of the classroom in which they met over 30 years
ago.
