Weird Facebook glitch leads man to meet true love online

The other person, Celeste Zendler, was a total stranger to Mr Benson and lived in Boulder, Colorado, 1,600km from Mr Benson’s South Arkansas home.

“In 2009 while living in South Arkansas, I used a flip-phone to log into my Facebook account”. “He would post such amusing stuff that I liked having him in my feed”.

The issue lasted for several days with Benson still somehow logged in as Zendler, unable to figure out how to get the account on his phone changed. The two had never met, never lived in the same state, had no mutual friends and didn’t even share a single Facebook interest. Benson was then able to log out of Zendler’s account.

‘In the fall of 2013, she relocated from Colorado to live with me in Arkansas, ‘ he added.

“Every time I logged in from my phone for the entire week, I found myself in Celeste’s account”.

Eventually, the situation was resolved and Zendler and Benson became Facebook friends. Initially, Zendler had planned to delete Benson, but they soon found themselves talking and discovered they had a lot of things in common. The couple was engaged the summer after Zendler moved to be with Benson.

She sent him a friend request shortly later and the rest is history.

‘It turns out we had a lot in common. In fact, they had SO much in common that Celeste and Schuler made a decision to meet in person in June 2013.

“I found my partner, my best friend and my great love due to a simple glitch on social media”.

In what can only be described as fate, a married couple in the U.S. have revealed how they never would have met if it wasn’t for a mysterious Facebook glitch.

It’s annoying when technology doesn’t work in the ways we want, but as the band Frou Frou so eloquently tells us in the song Let Go, sometimes “there’s beauty in the breakdown”. “This is my beauty”, Benson wrote in a post.
