The picture was from a family vacation in Turkey in 1997 – but the boy Ed was familiar. Heidi’s mom immediately recognized the young boy as the same Ed Heidi was with today!

“When my mom found the first photo of us she sent it to me and I was stunned. I actually had to lie down,” Heidi told  The Independent.

Inseparable as kids

Ed asked his parents to dig into their photo archive and they found five other pictures of Heidi and Ed together.

During that vacation, Ed and Heidi had been inseparable and had held hands most of the time. Now they can continue to hold hands forever.

Earlier this summer, the couple married in a beautiful English manor house built in the 12th century.

Heidi can hardly believe that the two had been dating for so long thinking this was the first time they had met.

“We had been together for four years when we found out so it’s mad to think we might never have known,” Heidi  told The Independent

“People keep telling us that it must be fate and that it’s like the plot of a movie!”

Such a wonderful coincidence is so rare in life. Please share if you agree.
