Kelly Hildebrandt to wed…Kelly Hildebrandt?
Months after meeting online, pair with same first, last name gets engaged

It’s enough to make a romantic comedy film writer drool over their keyboard. A young Meg Ryanesque Florida gal named Kelly Hildebrandt discovers a shirtless, Matthew McConaughey-type Texan with the exact same first and last name on Facebook.

Kelly girl sends a cyber shout-out to Kelly boy, and he answers back. Three weeks of viral flirting leads Kelly boy to head east to Florida to meet Girl Kelly. A couple of months later, he’s relocating – and come October, just eight months after their first connection, Kelly Hildebrandt will marry Kelly Hildebrandt.

TODAY’s Jenna Wolfe gave the inside scoop on the strange, unlikely, but all together heart-warming story of the two Kellys, talking with the beaming pair via satellite from Coral Gables, Fla., on Sunday.

But first, Wolfe had to figure out how to address that pair without creating an Abbott-Costello routine.

“Usually, I’m Kelly girl, and he’s Kelly boy,” the future Mrs. Hildebrandt told Wolfe. And her prospective groom added, “We’ve thought about Hildebrandt squared, but probably not that often.”

Kelly girl, 20, recounted her story how, in February, she found herself homebound and bored stiff, so she searched her name on Facebook. She came up with one match; a Lubbock, Texas fellow with the exact same first name, exact same last name, and – bonus! – a torso unrestrained by a shirt.

She sent a note: “I just told him I saw we had the same name and thought that was kind of cool, and that I just wanted to say hi,” Kelly girl told Wolfe. “It was like a sentence, the whole thing.”

But Kelly boy was intrigued. “I thought she was pretty cute,” he said. He kept the cyber chatter going for a few weeks and then made his play, taking a leap of faith and taking off for Coral Springs to meet his mirror-image name in the flesh.

Nice story. Rare kaayo ni but naa koy economics teacher sa college nga iya family name pagkadalaga the same family name pagkamenyo niya.Na intriga mi mao amo siya gi ask ingon niya na meet daw niya iya husband sa nag college siya sa University of Philippines then na inlove. Although pareha sila ug family name dili daw sila related mao nagmenyo sila.

I went to school with a person same last name as them but here name was Sarah.

I think 20 is just way too young to get hitched and married maybe between This time and October maybe they will change their mind already.
