OOPS! WRONG PERSON

     Have you ever sent a text message to the wrong person and was really embarrassed about it? I remember that I had an ex-coworker, who was trying to send scantily clad photos of herself to her husband, but accidentally sent it to another coworker with the same first name...Oops!

     What if the errant text message led to love? That's what happened for 53-year-old Kasey Bergh and 23-year-old Henry Glendening from St. Louis. Yes, there's a 30-year age gap between them, but you can't help who you fall in love with, right? The St. Louis couple found love when a text message was sent to the wrong number sparking their relationship back in 2012. The cougar, Bergh, mistakenly texted Glendening while she was stuck in Denver with work. When the the then 23-year-old courteously replied, their love story began. 

     The first message Bergh sent read: "Hey, it's Kasey. I was supposed to connect w Maria @ the park but her plane was delayed so I'm at the Westin. Wanted to see if I could connect with anyone else." Glendening replied with "Sorry, you've got the wrong number. But if I wasn't headed to work i'd b down to hang ;)." The couple spent the next few days recommending books, movies and music to each other as their friendship blossomed. When Bergh nervously admitted her age to Glendening, he didn't even flinch because to him it didn't matter. He said, "It really didn't make any difference. We were so connected at that point through deeper stuff." 

     Only a week after their first text message exchange, the two met for coffee before going for drinks and ultimately going back to her place and banging each other's brains out. Okay, that last part I made up. Just wanted to see if you were paying attention. They ultimately ended up falling in love. Glendening said, "From the very, very beginning it felt like we were on the same wavelength."

     Bergh had been divorced for six years and was convinced she'd never find love again. She said, "I had totally embraced I was single and that I never needed a guy. Then I met Henry." Withing two months, Glendening moved out of his parents' house and into Bergh's apartment. She also helped him kickstart his career at digital agency. In June 2014, he proposed to her in the restaurant where they had gone the first night they met. Bergh and Glendening got married three months ago, in front of the flood wall of the Mississippi River. 

     There's nothing like a feelgood story to end the week with. The couple did say they often get mistaken as mother and son, but they shrug it off. Glendening says, "You can't blame them. It's not a relationship you see very often. One that defies the age stereotype." Let this be a lesson to those of you who send the wrong text message to someone. You might find love on the other end.
