A woman who sent a text message to the wrong person fell in love with the recipient - and now they're married with six children. Brenda Stearns, 36, thought she was sending a message to her sister's friend in August 2009 but they had changed numbers - so she messaged a complete stranger instead.
Isaiah Stearns, 40, received the message - a passage from the Bible about putting others first - and replied saying '‘Amen to that, who is this?’", before striking up a conversation with Brenda. After resolving the initial confusion, the pair began talking every other day and met for the first time four months later in Cincinnati, Ohio - only after Brenda made Isaiah go on a date with her mum and sister first for their approval.
After her mum convinced Brenda Isaiah was an 11 out of 10 and she would "marry him some day", she met him in person too and the couple quickly hit if off. Brenda was working as an office assistant at the time, living in Augusta, Georgia while Isaiah was a stock assistant at a grocery store, living in Centreville, Ohio, nearly 600 miles away.
