You'd never think Googling yourself would end in marriage, but that's pretty much what happened to Kelly Hildebrandt and ... Kelly Hildebrandt, a couple who met when one of them searched her own name on Facebook.

"Girl" Kelly was at home in Coral Springs, Fla., with nothing to do so she decided to search her own name on Facebook and came up with one result -- "Boy" Kelly, who was living in Lubbock, Texas. Girl Kelly liked what she saw and sent him a little message. Boy Kelly also thought she was cute and the two began flirting online.

Boy Kelly eventually flew out to Florida to meet his dream girl. After a few months Boy Kelly asked for a transfer to Coral Springs, and the two will marry a scant eight months after meeting.

Girl Kelly's father is psyched that his daughter will get to carry on the family name. And don't worry -- after extensive research, "The Kellys" are excited to discover that they aren't distantly related. We can't think of anything more romantic than that.

Awesome story. The Christian singer, Steven Curtis Chapman, happened to meet a Mary Beth Chapman (no relation) when they were in college and kept getting each other's mail. They met, fell in love and are still married over 25 years later.

If a woman marries somebody with the same last name as her, she dosent have to worry about changing her name.

Awwww! That is too cool!

Makes me think of my paternal grandparents... My grandma's maiden name was the same as my grandpa's, but with a few more letters at the end of it. When she married him, she just dropped the extra letters that were at the end of her last name.

So it's like she never actually changed her last name completely.

I didn't know that about him. That's cool.

As for this news story, I think it's neat. It must be weird the first time they introduce themselves, though! LOL
