WHEN Elisabeth Goracke matched with Joshua Colbert on a dating app in April this year, she couldn\u2019t begin to guess the amazing coincidences that united them.<\/p>\n

Because not only had they both been born on the same day at the same hospital ward, just hours apart, they had attended the same nursery too.<\/p>\n


\n
\n<\/p>\n

As toddlers they were great pals. Even more shockingly they were pictured in a pre-school yearbook together, side by side.<\/p>\n

But Joshua had moved away – so there was no reason for them to connect as adults.<\/p>\n

Elisabeth, 35, said: \u201cWe couldn\u2019t believe it when we started talking.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cI checked him out on social media, and found he had the same birthday as me. And it all started from there.<\/p>\n

\u2018To think that our mums were on the same hospital ward with us as babies, and we are now married is definitely a sign that we were meant to be together.\u2019<\/p>\n

Elisabeth had only been on one date on the dating app after divorcing her husband. <\/p>\n

\u201cIt was scary starting to date again, as a single mum of two young children,\u201d she said. "I\u2019d been on one date already which hadn\u2019t gone anywhere.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cBut Josh\u2019s photo caught my eye straight away.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

And Josh agreed.\u00a0<\/p>\n

He said: \u201cI\u2019d almost given up on the dating app. I\u2019d been on and off it for about a year, and I\u2019d been on dates, but nothing serious. I was also divorced too, like Elisabeth.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cI liked her straight away, and we talked all the way through that first night.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe live an hour-and-a-half apart, but we arranged to meet up and\u00a0 went on our first date at a restaurant. It was love at first sight for me as soon as she walked through the door.\u201d<\/p>\n

To think that our mums were on the same hospital ward with us as babies, and we are now married is definitely a sign that we were meant to be together."<\/p>\n

Elisabeth says: \u201cWe couldn\u2019t believe that when we met one the dating app, Josh didn\u2019t even live in the area anymore, so we had no idea that he could have possibly been born in the same hospital as me.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cHe has travelled a lot because of being in the army.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

The pair were excited to tell their parents. Joshua's mum Alice had died when he was just seven years old, after complications from surgery. And his dad doesn\u2019t remember Elisabeth\u2019s mum Pam from the hospital ward.<\/p>\n

But Pam was gobsmacked when she heard of the reunion.<\/p>\n

\u201cI took him to meet my parents a week after our first date, and we then told them about us being born on the same day in the same hospital ward,\u201d she said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cMum didn\u2019t remember Josh\u2019s mum, but then we looked out old nursery photos and found pics of us together and she couldn\u2019t believe it.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd we know that Alice would have been just as amazed as mum was, that all those years after being born on the same day, in the same ward, that Josh and I ended up meeting each other and getting together.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cShe would have been so pleased and proud.\u201d<\/p>\n

Since their first date where they talked for four hours solidly, the couple went from strength to strength and got married at a church in Minnesota,USA.<\/p>\n

They were married by Elisabeth\u2019s father Alan, who is an ordained minister.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was an amazing day, and it felt so right to be marrying Joshua,\u201d said Elisabeth.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cHe has all the qualities I look for in a person. We share the same religious beliefs, and he is a hard worker too – he\u2019s a veteran that has served his country.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe is a great step-dad to my children Chloe<\/span>, eight, and Knox, six. He is so thoughtful, kind and witty and we share the same sense of wonder.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe were definitely meant to meet again, and be together, we feel so blessed.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cWe weren\u2019t ready for each other until now. We have to pinch ourselves to believe it actually happened.\u201d<\/p>\n

The pair chose their 35th birthday to tie the knot – on September 13th – as it was such a special date for both of them.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

And they also discovered, too, that Alan is Joshua\u2019s middle name – the same name as Elisabeth\u2019s dad, her son and brother too.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cWe laughed and called them the \u2018Alan Barbershop Quartet,\u201d said Elisabeth.\u00a0<\/p>\n
