What are the odds?




About 100 guests are expected to gather at a
Florida yacht club this October for Kelly Hildebrandt's wedding
-- to Kelly Hildebrandt.
Kelly Katrina Hildebrandt says she was bored one night last
year and decided to search Facebook for her own name to see if
anyone shared it. Kelly Carl Hildebrandt of Lubbock, Texas, came
up as the only match.
The two exchanged e-mails, then occasional phone calls.
Eventually that turned into daily conversations, sometimes
lasting for hours. After a few months, he visited her in Florida,
and that cinched it. Last December, she found a diamond
engagement ring hidden in a treasure box on a beach.
While the couple says it's fun sharing a name, there have
been complications. They nearly had a cruise canceled when a
travel agent deleted one ticket on their reservation, thinking it
was a duplicate entry.
The couple are including their middle names on the wedding
invitations to save confusion. And they've ruled out naming any
children Kelly.
