Disney Photo Captured Married Couple on Film 15 Years Before They Met

By John Farrier in Everything Else on Jun 13, 2010 at 7:47 am

When Alex and Donna Voutsinas were photographed together at Disney World, they didn’t know each other. In fact, they didn’t even live in the same country. But fifteen years later, they met and married:

That fateful realization came just one week before their wedding eight years ago. Alex and Donna had been going through old family snapshots. There, in the blurry background of a picture of 5-year-old Donna was 3-year-old Alex being pushed down Main Street at the same moment in 1980 by his father. The senior Voutsinas’s distinctive jet-black hair with its white tuft caught his eye.

“My mother pulled out albums from the same trip. My dad is wearing exactly the same outfit.â€

Other pictures from that trip showed Alex on his dad’s shoulders. The boy in the background of Donna’s picture and the boy in those pictures were the same.

    It’s a small world after all… It’s a small world after all.

    Sorry, it just had to be sung.

    It turns out that it’s not a coincidence. One of their children grows up to be the inventor of the first functioning time machine. He goes back in time, and secretly sets this joke up for when he knows his parents will meet.

    I actually have always wanted this to happen to me. To find out the person I fell in love with and I were actually in line at Disneyland at the same time long before we met. It melts my heart with gooey sweetness to see it happen for reals.

    OMG, the guy in the short shorts at 11 o’clock. I can tell because of the distinctive tan line visible under my wife’s hot pants.

    Things like this happen all the time, we just don’t find evidence of them most of the time. Imagine all the weird coincidences we will never know about.

    Maybe you like to share how they actually met? At Disney Land, this time?
