It’s 2023 now. The story about how Brenda and Isaiah met sounds cuter than others. It all started when Brenda texted a friend in 2009. The only problem was, she got the phone number wrong.

Isaiah was confused (困惑的) when he got the text, but he was interested. “Who is this?” he replied. The reply quickly showed Brenda’s mistake. But Isaiah wanted to keep talking, so he asked if he could call her sometime. Brenda says she “thought it was a little strange”, but when he left her a message the next day, she decided to see what would happen. 

“I could just tell he was very sincere and honest,” she remembers. “So I decided OK — I’m going to call him back.” After the call, they became Internet friends. Then Brenda “quickly fell in love” with Isaiah.

Soon, Brenda planned a meeting with Isaiah. She even brought along her mother to get her opinion. At the end of the meal, her mother rated Isaiah an 11 out of 10 as a match for her daughter! “She said, ‘You’re going to marry this guy.’” Brenda and Isaiah did just that. Fourteen years later, they have six beautiful children!

Brenda and Isaiah are having the best time of their lives together. Brenda says he’s the “perfect partner (伴侣)”, and he does a lot of housework to reduce her stress as a mother of six. This truly seems like a match made in heaven!
