How We Met

Soulmates connected by a red thread

A long time ago in a galaxy far away, there was a princess whose home planet was at risk of being destroyed by an evil dictator.... only one person can save her. Wait that's just A New Hope! anyway here's wonderwall.

Red String Theory

the actual story

It was early fall, the first year of the new millennia, and the Oswego School District gained a large influx of new young students. It was Matt and Sarah's first day of grade school and their Kindergarten class was a trailer outside of the Old Post Elementary School. They lined up in order from A to Z, by last names of course, so they can walk from the main building to their trailer. This would become their routine everyday, one of their earliest that they could remember and as luck would have it, they would begin and end each day standing right next to each other. The Red String Theory is the idea that some are connected on a soul level, destined to connect and be together especially during more difficult times. For the past 24 years, Matt and Sarah have witnessed the strength of that red string. From finding each other at such an early age to their long history of friendship and serendipitous interactions, it is undeniable that their bond is anything less than soulmate status.
