Never ignore that strange SMS: I accidentally sent text to a stranger now we are married

Kasey Bergh, 53, thought she was texting her work colleague, but she actually messaged 23-year-old Henry Glendening.

These loved-up newlyweds have shown we might not need Tinder after all.

Not only has this pair's love blossomed despite them being complete strangers – it's also crossed the age gap.

Divorcee Kasey Bergh, 53, accidentally sent a text to complete stranger 23-year-old Henry Glendening thinking she was contacting a work colleague.

Instead of just politely telling Kasey she had got the wrong number, he also suggested he would be "down to hang" with her.

The rest, as they say, is history.       

Kasey, while on a business trip in Denver, in Colorado, replied with an apology and the pair got chatting.

They met a week later before falling in love.

Kasey told the St. Louis Post-Dispatch: "I had totally embraced I was single and that I never needed a guy. Then I met Henry."

Talking about their 30-year age gap, Henry said it "really didn't make any difference".

"We were so connected at that point through deeper stuff," he said.

"From the very, very beginning it felt like we were on the same wavelength."

Two years after the chance text, Henry proposed to Kasey while playing her favourite song in the restaurant they were dining in.

This summer, they got married in front of the flood wall of the Mississippi River.

Kasey told Cosmopolitan: "We are perfect matches for each other and we each get to be exactly who we are in our relationship.

"It's so freeing. And we have so much fun together. Everything is an adventure."

Henry said the remarkable courtship was inspired by The Secret – a book that claims positive thinking can create life-changing experiences.

He said his text to Kasey was a one-in-lifetime moment to see what happened, after he was stuck in a dead-end job and an unhappy relationship.
