In 9th grade, Audrey Finocchiaro sat with her four friends in a Dunkin' Donuts parking lot joking about who they thought they would each marry — what Finocchiaro didn’t realize was that in 12 years, her prediction for herself would come true.
“We were just going around talking about if there was anyone we could marry, who would it be and I said Sam Lancaster,” she tells PEOPLE.
At the time, Finocchiaro, now 30 says, she and Lancaster barely knew each other. Despite being in the same chemistry class, she explains that they weren’t friends. “I just thought he was hot,” she adds.
Then, out of nowhere, the last week of their senior year of high school, the two started talking. A short while later, the two began dating while she was attending Marymount Manhattan College in New York City.
Now, 10 years later, Finocchiaro and Lancaster, 30, are planning to tie the knot on March 2 in Mexico after getting engaged in March 2022.
“I love his positivity, I would say he’s always positive no matter what is happening to us, he always finds something positive about the situation,” she says.

Finocchiaro shared the story of how she manifested her future husband in aTikTok, which has since gone viral with 112.7 thousand views. She says some people have been commenting to ask if her story is real.
“When someone asked me in 9th grade who I would marry if I could marry anyone in HS and I said Sam. Even though we barely knew each other, were both dating other people and didn’t talk. 12 years later we’re engaged,” she captions the video.

“If you think about something enough, I think you can manifest it. So keep believing and it will happen,” Finocchiaro shares. “When I told my friends we were getting married they couldn’t believe it.”
The bride-to-be adds that before posting the video her fiancé didn’t know about the story. She says that when he first saw it he asked her if it was true. While at first, she didn’t want to tell him, eventually, she confirmed it.

“I think when we started dating, I remember the first time he called me when I was a senior and I threw my phone. I just looked down and he was calling me, which was hilarious,” she says.
