Woman Mistakenly Texts Stranger, Marries Him 3 Years Later

That let to an apology text from Kasey, the two got chatting, and then met up one week later for the first of many dates. They had already discussed their 30 year age difference and Henry was unfazed.

Henry told the St. Louis Post-Dispatch he was inspired by ‘The Secret’, a book that claims positive thinking can create life-changing results. Stuck in a dead-end job, and in an unhappy relationship, he decided to see what came of the chance text conversation.

‘It really didn’t make any difference,’ he added of the age gap. ‘We were so connected at that point through deeper stuff… From the very, very beginning it felt like we were on the same wavelength.’

Kasey agreed: ‘I had totally embraced I was single and that I never needed a guy. Then I met Henry.’

Both are firm believers in serendipity.

And this summer, three years after that accidental text, the couple were married in front of the flood wall of the Mississippi River.
