Woman Accidentally Texts This Guy Then Eventually MARRIES Him!
#1
A St. Louis couple has a how-they-met story that will make you automatically delete your Tinder account.
Newly weds Kasey Bergh and Henry Glendening connected three years ago after Bergh accidentally sent a text to Glendening, thinking he was a work colleague. But their unbelievable meeting isn't the only surprise that would be in store.
#2 Bergh was in Denver, Colo. for a work project when she sent the message to Glendening while he was on his way to work in St. Louis, Mo.
If this was practically anyone else, a curt "Sorry, wrong number" would have been the only response Bergh received. But luckily for her, the conversation grew from there. Bergh and Glendening shared their love of music, movies and books. They decided to meet a week later, but before they did, Bergh knew there would be an elephant in the cafe they were set to meet at, and decided to address it right away: her age.
When Glendening, 23, asked Bergh about her age, she originally skirted the issue. "I'm 25 in my heart," she told St. Louis Post-Dispatch. But she knew if things were going to go further, she would have to be honest. "Here it is. I'm 53," she told Glendening.
#3 “It really didn’t make any difference,” Glendening said. “We were so connected at that point through deeper stuff.”
When the pair met, they both say the attraction was immediate.
"There was this positive, open energy about her," Glendening said. "From the very, very beginning it felt like we were on the same wavelength."
Their first few dates went well, but Glendening wanted to stick to his plan of going on a 10-day road trip of self-discovery, and told Bergh that he wouldn't be contacting her during that time. He had been stuck in a dead-end job, and in a relationship that he didn't see going anywhere, so he needed some time to reflect.
#4 One day in, he broke that vow. Bergh woke in the morning to find a voice memo on her phone with three words on it: "I love you.”
Before Glendening, Bergh had accepted her single life. She had been divorced for six years, and believed she didn't need a man to be happy. But with Glendening, she felt things would be different, and things began to move quickly for the couple.
Glendening came home a few days early from his soul-searching adventure to be with Bergh. Two months into their relationship, the pair moved in together. They understood that there would be awkward glances, with some people believing them to be mother and son rather than boyfriend and girlfriend, but the pair were willing to work through it. One thing that made it easier was the acceptance of their families.
#5 “My parents were accepting from the start,” Glendening told Daily Mail Online. “We were happy, healthy, and they've always known me to be my own person even if it is in a non-traditional way.
After two years of dating, Glendening became certain that the two were meant to be together. At the restaurant where they had their first date, he proposed to Bergh with her favorite song"Thank You" by Led Zeppelinplaying in the background.
A year later, they were married in a small ceremony in St. Louis, and have loved sharing their story of beating the odds ever since.
#6 “All in all, everyone has been very supportive and accepting of us,” Glendening told Daily Mail Online. “Both of us are fairly unconventional people, and those we surround ourselves with definitely accept that.”
