MIAMI (AP) -- This October, Kelly Hildebrandt will vow to share her life with a man who already shares her name.
This is no joke. Kelly Katrina Hildebrandt, 20, and Kelly Carl Hildebrandt, 24, expect just over 100 guests at a ceremony at the Lighthouse Point Yacht & Racquet Club in South Florida, where they will become husband and wife.
"He is just everything that I've ever looked for," she said in an interview. "There's always been certain qualities that a guy has to have. And he has all the ones I could think of - and more."
Their modern romance was a match made in cyberspace. She was curious and bored one night last year, so she plugged her name into the popular social networking Web site Facebook just to see if anyone shared it.
At the time, Kelly Hildebrandt, of Lubbock, Texas, was the only match.
So she sent him a message.
"She said 'Hi. We had the same name. Thought it was cool,'" Kelly Carl Hildebrandt said. "I thought she was pretty cute."
But there were also concerns.
"I thought, man, we've got to be related or something," he said.
For the next three months the two exchanged e-mails. Before he knew it, occasional phone calls turned into daily chats, sometimes lasting hours. He visited her in Florida after a few months and "fell head over heels."
"I thought it was fun," he said of that first online encounter. "I had no idea that it would lead to this."
Months after Kelly Hildebrandt sent her first e-mail, she found a diamond engagement ring hidden in treasure box on a beach in December.

Cute couple, but obviously, she’s lazy...
not wanting to go through the trouble change her last name and all...
Cool
and
I just won a hand of Solitaire - a first in years.
Must be a good day.
I knew a couple who shared a first name.
He was Jesse. She was Jessie.
She later used her middle name exclusively.
I bet this couple will soon be going by Carl and Katrina.
I once knew a couple named Henry and Henrietta.
Well I don't think either of them is THAT cute....
In college I worked with a girl who had the same last name as mine except mine ended with an “s”. We joked that if we got married she’d just go plural.
When I was young, I knew a guy named xxxx Juday (pronounced Judy) who married a girl named Judy xxxxx. Her name became Judy Juday...
hh
WHOA! Slow down...aren’t you supposed to have kids before you get married?
Good friends of ours met under similar circumstances. Both worked for the same company, and both were named Kim Kramer. A mutual friend fixed them up and they have been together ever since.
"No," she said. "We're definitely not going to name our kids Kelly."
George Foreman, George Foreman, George Foreman, George Foreman and George Foreman just called.
They said; "Good idea!".
LOL!
wow.. I’d fall for her as well.. she is extremely cute, nice smile.. she sparkles.. not a bad looking fella.. gonna be good looking kids.
I’m sure my daughter still holds it against me that she was never able to get married at an exclusive Yacht club.
One thing about this kind of thread, you can play Solitaire and not miss anything.
Let's leave James Carville out of this, shall we?
