Fate is a weird thing man.
I can’t even say this was wrong, because this is a one in billion chance of happening.
A clumsy husband told how he accidentally saved his ex-wife’s number with one digit wrong – only to end up marrying the woman who he sent the misdirected text to.
Former security guard Peter Mctaggart, 46, met his current wife Mary Mctaggart, 60, in 2003 after repeatedly texting her number – thinking it was his then-wife’s.
After receiving three texts from the stranger, Mary, who was also married to someone else at the time, responded to let Peter know he must have the wrong number.
But their relationship soon blossomed over text messages and the pair confided each about their failing relationships – until Peter travelled from Bolton, Lancashire, to stay with Mrs Mctaggart and her then husband.
When Mr Mctaggart’s wife found out about their friendship and Mary eventually split from her own partner, the pair realised that ‘fate had brought them together’.
What a time to be alive.
Flip the pages for the happy couple.
