Kelly Hildebrandt, 20, a student from Miami, entered her own name on the social network website when she was bored one evening. It provided only one match - Kelly Hildebrandt, 24, from Lubbock, Texas. She sent him a message which he recalls as saying: "Hi. We had the same name. Thought it was cool" and they became friends.

Despite Mr Hildebrandt's concern that they might be related, the pair were soon talking to each other every day and he "fell head over heels" after visiting her in Florida. Mr Hildebrandt, who works in financial services, sealed their fate by hiding a diamond engagement ring in a treasure box on a beach. The couple plan to get married in south Florida in October.

"I totally think that it's all God's timing. He planned it out just perfect," said Miss Hildebrandt. Her fiancé said he thought their first online encounter was "fun" but added: "I had no idea that it would lead to this." The couple said there are no plans to allow the confusion to expand into a future generation: "No, we're definitely not going to name our kids Kelly," said Miss Hildebrandt.

God and Facebook... both are to blame for so much!

Friends worried that it was not just the names that were the same...
