BBC News, Samidlanz County
British Broadcasting CorporationIn 1998, when Donovan Shears sent text messages to a random number, this changed his life trajectory.
He received his first phone on his 18th birthday and just found the SMS function.
He randomly compiled a number and sent a message saying “Hello”, his future wife Costi replied “Hello”.
They said: “At that moment, it brought more than 20 years of love, laughter and partnership.”
That night, he sent a few messages to the unknown number from the Kaowen Bar of the work that night, and Klispus’s Cleas was the only person to reply.
In 2002, the couple got married in Coty’s hometown of Scotland. Now there are two children, 6 years old and 9 years old.
Costi said she responded to Donovan’s information and thought it was the person she knew, but she did not save his phone number on her mobile phone.
In an interview with the BBC CWR, they recalled their first dating at the Kaowen Chuku Railway Station and the first date at the Roman Bald.
Donanvan said: “I started sending text messages randomly and showing off to my friends.
“I chose the same four-digit number as me, and then randomly selected the last three digits-it may be about five to six different numbers-then didn’t think much.”
“We will send text messages all day, and then it will obviously become more and more frequent, and then we decide to call each other at some point.
“We started talking to (SMS) during the day, and finally until the August 1998 bank holiday.
“I said to my stepdown, I have to see this person, she said ‘he can be anyone’, I said ‘yes, I know’, but I was 18 years old and did not really think about the results.
“I just got on the train and came to Kaowen.”
It has been more than 20 years since their big days. On Valentine’s Day, the two will participate in a large -scale vows organized by the BBC CWR in the Cathedral Cathedral.
