Soulmates In The Making
Back in 2014, two single thirty year old Floridians decided to try online dating. The second Justin saw Amy’s profile photo on Match.com, he was completely taken by her. She was also interested in him. It was clear, even through their initial phone calls and texts, that the two had chemistry. On their first date, Amy already had a gut feeling that she was meeting her future husband.
“It was like I had known him my whole life,” she told PEOPLE Magazine. The relationship was going great and marriage was inevitable. But exactly one year after their very first date, Amy and Justin made a shocking realization during a car ride. 
For Amy Giberson and Justin Pounders, they simply just “knew” that the universe had made them for one another. Justin couldn’t imagine anyone else walking down the aisle towards him on his wedding day. From the moment Amy laid her eyes on him, she knew he was the man for her. One day, Amy showed her preschool class picture to Justin and he was absolutely dumbfounded with what he saw in the corner of the photo.
Young Love
Amy grew up in St. Petersburg, Florida. During her time in preschool, she had a crush on a boy in her class.
Their relationship with each other was built by playing with building blocks and having lunch dates in the schoolyard. To this day, Amy’s preschool teacher remembers the love that the two had together.
Playground Crush
Amy’s teacher actually ran Sunshine Preschool, and when interviewed, she told PEOPLE magazine, “They had a blast with each other. It was a quiet, bashful romance.
They liked each other from afar, it was a young love, like a sweet crush.”
Going Separate Ways
From the start, their love was doomed to only be short lived because of their age. After graduating kindergarten Amy and her young love went their separate ways.
Amy moved away and as she grew up and went to college, the memories of her 3-year-old crush faded away.
History Of Broken Relationships
Amy's romantic life was never perfect. She never felt she reached the height of connection she had with her preschool love. She was hurt often and, according to her friends, always wore her heart on her sleeve.
True love for Amy seemed to be something only others had.
Too Trusting And Loving
Amy told Cosmopolitan magazine in 2016, “People would tell me, ‘Don’t be so open, Amy. Don’t trust so easily.’ But if I stopped doing that, it wouldn’t be me.
It’s just absolutely nuts that I was the tragically misguided girl who was always let down.”
Single And Ready To Mingle
At the age of 32, Amy was still single and decided to move back to her hometown of St. Petersburg.
She had hopes of finding the right guy and settling down. One day she randomly thought she would try the dating pool in St. Petersburg and that’s when her profile caught the eye of local Justin Pounders.
Tragic Past
Justin’s love life had been far from perfect as well. In 2012, his fiancé was tragically murdered on the same night that they were moving in together.
She had actually been out with her roommate celebrating moving out. This is when the horrific crime was committed.
The Right Time
Years later, Justin finally felt that he was ready to move on from the tragic loss of his girlfriend. He moved back to St.
Petersburg and like Amy, placed a dating profile online. When he saw Amy’s profile, he instantly felt a connection and he messaged her.
Perfect Connection
According to Justin, when he first saw Amy’s profile he was instantly drawn to her. He loved her energy and spark for life and just knew he had to get to know her.
They arranged their first date together and they were both so excited to see the possibilities.
First Date To Remember
The pair met at a restaurant in December 2014 for their first date. Amy was instantly attracted to Justin felt like she had known him her whole life.
The waiter must have picked up on their connection because he even marked the date on their dessert plate.
Love At First Sight
After their first date, they began to meet up every day as the love between them quickly took over.
Amy knew from their very first dinner that she was going to have dinner with Justin for the rest of her life.
Shock Of A Lifetime
After dating for months, Justin mentioned one day that he always liked the name Amy because it reminded him of his first crush in preschool. It was then that Amy began to notice Justin touching a scar on his forehead, which he revealed he got when he cut his head open on monkey bars at preschool. The remaining pieces started clicking into place.
Amy and Justin realized that they both attended Sunshine Preschool 30 years earlier. Amy immediately called her mother and asked for pictures from her days in preschool and what she found was shocking. The crush both of them had had so many years ago, was on each other!
