A wife has revealed she met her husband by 'texting the wrong number' - and now they've been married for 12 years and have six kids. Brenda Rivera Stearns, 35, says she was trying to send a friend an excerpt from the Bible one evening back in October 2009 but accidentally sent it to her now-husband Isaiah Stearns, 40.
The stay at home mum believes the mistaken text was 'an act of fate', as he almost never received it - as she originally went to send it in the morning but held off until later, and Isaiah received the message only half an hour after he got a new phone number. What started out as a friendship soon blossomed into romance after Brenda's mum, Rossy Rivera, 60, met Isaiah one day for dinner and afterwards told her over the phone 'you're going to marry this guy' - despite being 800 miles apart.
