This St Louis couple met via an accidental text message



The pair, from St. Louis, continued communicating after realising they had a lot in common, sharing recommendations on books, movies and music, before meeting in person for the first time a week later, the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reported.
Upon their second meeting two days later, they each arrived at a coffee shop at different times and realised they had ordered the same drink.
“From the very, very beginning it felt like we were on the same wavelength,” Glendening said.
Despite a 30-year age difference, Bergh and Glendening’s connection flourished, and they moved in together within two months.
“It really didn’t make any difference,” Glendening said. “We were so connected at that point through deeper stuff.”
He credits Bergh with helping him get out of an “awful place” in his life, which included an unhappy relationship and a dead-end job.
“Kasey is a huge inspirer. She wasn’t recommending or advocating any particular direction I go, but she encouraged exploring, finding out what I want to do,” Glendening said.
Bergh believes Glendening caused her to again believe in love and change her mind about remaining single after her divorce six years prior.
“I had totally embraced I was single and that I never needed a guy,” Bergh said. “Then I met Henry.”
Exactly two years after the arrant text message, Glendening proposed to Bergh at a rooftop restaurant where they ended their first meeting, with her favourite song, Thank You by Led Zeppelin, playing in the background.
The couple married June 27 in front of a graffiti wall near the St. Louis riverfront.
