- Please, put your hands together for my chick, Marjorie.
(audience cheers and claps)
Alright, so what you got, baby?
- Well darling, you know I live for a good love story.
So well, there's an Instagram feed and also a website
and it's called The Way We Met
that shares an endless amount
of these types of love stories.
So recently, I came across a couple named Matt and Laura.
Now, they've only been married for two years
but their love story, it spans over decades.
So, please welcome Matt and Laura right here.
(audience cheers and claps)
So Matt, tell us how you guys met.
- Sure.
So Laura was actually born in New Delhi, India in 1993
and her parents, who were working over there at the time
for the U.S. government, found her in an orphanage.
And luckily, they adopted her and brought her back
to the United States and enrolled her in a preschool
in Phoenix, Arizona where my parents had just enrolled me.
And so, we met in preschool.
We don't remember the exact moment we met.
(audience cheering)
(everyone laughing)
(audience clapping)
(Steve and Marjorie laughing)
So, I don't remember the exact moment we met.
We just remember being really drawn to each other
and yeah, that's when our relationship was born, so.
- So Laura, you guys have stayed friends your entire life?
- [Laura] Our entire lives, yes!
- Now Matt, what was it about her that stood out?
- You know early.
It was-- - Right, yeah.
- Come on. - You know in preschool.
- You have to. - Yeah.
(laughing)
- We knew early on. - Look at her!
I mean, I was always drawn to her infectious energy.
Even as a kid, she still has it now.
But she's always had this fantastic smile.
She's the happiest person I know.
The most sincere person I know.
(audience clapping)
- You could have found me a little earlier.
- I should have found you a little earlier?
- Yeah, you should have found me a little earlier.
- [Matt] Yeah, well.
- But you know what was crazy, though,
I did 'cause she actually lived in Cleveland
when I was there and you worked at a dry cleaners--
- Yeah. - On 123rd.
That was the dry cleaners that my family used to go to.
I never met her.
- It was my cousin's dry cleaners.
That was my summer job.
- But, I'm seven years older than her.
- (whispers) I was sixteen!
(laughing)
- So, that wouldn't have been good.
(everyone laughing)
Now, this is what I just found out.
You proposed to her in preschool?
- Yes he did. - Yeah, that's right.
- We don't really remember the time that he proposed
but he definitely did and I told him we need to wait.
We need to slow down.
This is too fast!
(Steve laughs)
- Said we should wait 'til we get older.
- We should wait until we get a little bit older!
- We need to slow down.
We ain't go no money, we ain't go no job,
we ain't go nowhere to stay-- - Exactly!
- We ain't got no car, we ain't got no driver's license--
- [Matt] Just like that.
- We don't have a social security card.
(Matt laughs)
- But you know right off. - Yeah.
- That's the way.
- So I took her advice and I waited a little bit longer, so.
(Laura laughs)
- Okay, I wanna introduce you to the woman behind this
beautiful collection of love stories, The Way We Met.
Say hello to Brooklyn Sherman.
(audience cheering and clapping)
Hi, Brooklyn! - Hi!
- Let me ask you a question.
What made you create this website?
- I think that we live in a world
where there's a lot of heaviness in the news and around us
and as you can see by Laura and Matt how much joy
their love story brought to the internet and to the world,
you know, I just think that there's so many
amazing love stories just like that
and I think at the end of the day,
the most important thing in this life
is loving and being loved in return, so.
(audience clapping and cheering)
- And who doesn't love a good love story?
(laughing)
- Thank you very much.
That's really cool.
I wanna say thanks to our amazing couple here.
- Yeah, hank you!
- Thanks for having us. - That's an amazing story.
And I wanna thank my bad, bad chick right here,
Marjorie, for being here.
Thank you, darling!
Really good!
