Fiancé Surprises His Bride with Wedding Shower in the Preschool Where They First Met as Toddlers
Engaged to be wed this month, a young Texan wrangled the support of an entire preschool class to throw his fiancée a surprise bridal shower.
Walking into her preschool class at Shlenker school in Houston, Zoe Kampf was surprised by a troupe of children dressed in floral garlands and bow ties who handed her a tiara and a sash.
In the middle of it all was her hubby-to-be, Sean Folloder, in the very room where he had first met his beloved.
“When I walked in, I was really surprised. They had cookies and decorated the classroom. They gave me a sash and a veil and crown. It was really cute.”
Folloder’s grandmother, Barbie Freedman, was a teacher at Shlenker when both Zoe and Sean were attending as 4-year-olds.
Their paths reconnected again in summer camp of 2021. While working as the camp director, Freedman would send Folloder on little errands whenever Kampf needed something, and she cheekily suggested the pair go on a date.
Both teachers, the pair got engaged on the eve of Christmas Eve 2024, and should be tying the knot any day now.
“They are a wonderful couple and really devoted to one another,” Freedman said. “It has been really fun to watch them grow up and grow together.”
“It was great to surprise her at school,” Folloder added. “She is such a great teacher and everyone, from her kids to her kids’ parents to the staff, loves her.”
Ah young love.
