Is This the First Marriage Between People Brought Together by ‘Words With Friends’?

Maybe there IS a purpose to "Words With Friends" besides wasting an enormous amount of your time and getting Alec Baldwin kicked off planes.

Now, it's also a MATCHMAKER.

If you're not familiar, "Words With Friends" is a popular iPhone, Android, and Facebook game that lets you play a game...suspiciously like Scrabble...against other people.

32-year-old Megan Lawless of Chicago has been a big "Words With Friends" fan for years. But she didn't just want to play against her friends. She also wanted to play some Words With Strangers.

So, back in November of 2009, she hit the "Random Opponent" button.

31-year-old Jasper Jasperse of the Netherlands randomly got matched up with her. They started playing, and started having good games, so they kept playing. Those games led to online chatting. That chatting led to talking.

And now, Jasper has moved to Chicago...and they're MARRIED.

A company called Zynga makes "Words With Friends". They said this is the first "Words With Friends" marriage they know of.
