LONDON (Reuters) - A British man has met and married a 22-year-old woman after, by his own account, dreaming of her phone number and then sending her a text message.
David Brown, 24, says he woke up one morning after a night out with friends with a telephone number constantly running through his head. He decided to contact it, sending a message saying "Did I meet you last night?."
Random recipient Michelle Kitson was confused and wary at first but decided to reply and the two began exchanging messages. Eventually they met and fell in love.
"It was really weird but I was absolutely hooked," Kitson told the Daily Mail newspaper. "My mum and dad kept saying 'But he could be an axe murderer', but I knew there was something special about it."
After a long courtship, the oddly matched couple -- he's six foot seven inches tall and she's five foot four -- have just returned from their honeymoon in the Indian resort of Goa.
A love-struck Brown said: "I've no idea how I ended up with her number in my head -- it's only a few digits different from mine."

| Likely they were both desperate and ugly. Ugly people latch onto anyone who pays them attention. |

Yeah, I've tried that.
All I got though was a 12" deep pan with extra pepperoni. |

hehehe...My thoughts exactly. Desperate people always have a way of finding each other. That's why the divorce rate is so high. |

| He seems like a nice chap, and I wish him happiness. They do seem to fit together. I have sometimes had people call me by mistake in Korea (foreigners) and thought of talking to them, but I thought it would be weird, so I just said "Sorry, wrong number". I mean what can you say? LOL It is not my kind of thing to do. |

I'd prefer that over marriage any day of the week. |
