Crystal and Jerry are madly in love – born on the same birthday, same year. This makes two couples now that I’ve met. And, I have only been doing this since May 29th.

So how did they meet?

Facebook suggested they become friends. When Crystal saw they shared a birthday, she sent the request.

Over the next few weeks, they spent hours texting and talking on the phone. Jerry was away on business, so they got to know each other from a distance, long before they ever met face-to-face.

They quickly realized they had so much in common. Including neither of them wanted to get married.

But the feelings kept growing anyway. Then Jerry said something that stopped me. Literally. I pulled out my phone to write it down.

“I had never missed somebody that much… and I hadn’t even met her yet.”

I have never heard that before. Missing someone you’ve never even sat across from.

Eventually, they met.

And six months later, they were married.
