What are the odds? You discover that you are logged into a stranger’s FaceBook account because of a simple glitch, only to marry her several years later.  Six years ago, Schuler Benson switched his on his mobile phone to find that a security breach had just occurred. The account he was signed into was Celeste Zendler.

They had no mutual friends and Schuler, a writer, had never seen or even heard of her before. She lived in Colorado, which is over 1000 miles away from his home in Arkansas.

Schuler was stuck in Celeste’s account for a week, and the pair began to communicate in an attempt to fix the glitch. Schuler was finally able to log out of Celeste’s account and get back into his own.

Celeste, a student, said in an interview, “I never did (delete him) because I enjoyed his status updates,” she said. “He would post such funny stuff that I liked having him in my feed. We commented here and there on each other’s statuses, and that is how we got to know one another.”

The friendship slowly grew into a romance. “It literally took years to go from Facebook friends to a romantic relationship,” Celeste said.

The romance developed and on June 11 last year, Schuler logged into Celeste’s Facebook account for the second time — but this time on purpose.

Since they met on Facebook, he could not propose to her where they first met. Hacking into her account, took them back to their first meeting and Schuler posted a wedding proposal.

Celeste said yes and the pair married in South Carolina, where they now live.
