Man found girlfriend’s preschool photo, quickly called his mom after realizing 'something very odd about it'
A boyfriend couldn't believe his eyes when he came upon a childhood photo of his girlfriend while going through their stuff. It made him believe in destiny. The young man, who goes by @evanaka1234 on Imgur, shared a series of pictures on his account, narrating a story involving his love life and how fate intervened in the best way possible. He shared a picture of eight preschool kids in the first frame, accompanied by two adults. "While searching for a rice cooker my girlfriend, I came across this picture from her preschool," the man wrote under the first picture.
"I started busting out laughing because I recognized her instantly. Some say she wasn't quite human," he joked about the quirky little smile his girlfriend had in the picture. But that was when a serious realization hit the man. There was something odd about the picture he was looking at. One face in particular, other than his girlfriend's photo, looked a little too familiar to him. The man took a few seconds to join the dots and ultimately realized who the blonde boy sitting next to her was.
"That was me! We grew up away from each other, a few cities apart at least but it turned out that we somehow had gone to the same preschool. I freaked out and called my mom. What else would you do in a situation like that and sure enough she confirmed that it was me," the man shared. He added that they both had attended this same preschool when they were 3 years old. "Mildly interesting to say the least. This is us today approximately 16 years later," the man concluded as he shared a recent photo of himself and his girlfriend, proving that destiny always brings the right people together.
In a similar story, a Chinese couple who were identified as Mr. and Mrs. Ye, made a stunning discovery about crossing each other's paths in the past. According to NBC affiliate KSDK, the year was 2000 when the pair was unknowingly captured in each other's photographs taken at the same spot. The pictures were also shared on Reddit later. Oblivious to each other's presence, the man and woman had visited the May Fourth Square in Qingdao, China in 2000. They were posing separately and they didn't even interact with one another and yet, he was seen standing in the background of a photo with the woman in focus.
Mr. Ye was hardly aware that he had walked into someone else's frame as he posed for his own picture but in an interesting turn of events, Mr. Ye made an appearance in his future wife’s photograph. The post compared the duo’s single pictures side by side and Mr. Ye is clearly visible in her picture in the same outfit that he is seen wearing in his throwback shot. Years later when Mr. Ye was flipping through pictures of his wife in her home, he realized how their paths had crossed years ago. The couple ultimately met each other more than a decade later in 2011, got married and even welcomed twin daughters.
