Disney World photo captures couple together 15 years before they met...

No one knows better than Alex and Donna Voutsinas that it’s a small world after all.

Thirty years ago, when they lived in separate countries long before they met and married, a family shot of little Donna at Walt Disney World captured Alex in a stroller in the background.

<snip>

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.”

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.



Now that's a coincidence.

6. Reminds me of "Lost"
How intertwined our lives truly are, but we simply don't see all the connections.

9. OK, I've got a good one for you
My friend had two children, a boy and a girl. They grew up and were young adults when this happened. Each married in their mid-twenties.

One night, during a family dinner, there was a knock at the door and the husband of my friend's daughter Michelle answered it. Standing on the doorstep was a young man who claimed to be the long-lost brother of Michelle's husband.

They looked so much alike there was no arguing the point. They did check the story out and it was legitimate and Michelle's husband subsequently became very close to his "new" brother. They were inseparable, spending practically all their free time together.

Michelle became a little jealous of her husband's relationship with the brother. She then announced that she was going to look for her long-lost sister. She had no idea whether or not she had a sister, but said she was going to check it out.

My friend confided to me in fear that she would probably find a sister, as she and the father had separated immediately after Michelle's birth. She knew that her former husband had gone on to have other children and form another family.

Through the Internet, Michelle tracked down her half-sister Stacy in no time at all. Then she and Stacy became the best of friends, talking on the phone everyday and visiting each other (1500 miles distance) about once a month.

So now both husband and wife have found a long-lost brother or sister. Each has an incredibly close relationship to their sibling.
