Internet Friends = Real Life Friends

When 28-year-old Charles Powell decided to tie the knot with his now-wife Myra, he knew he had to call upon the best friends that he had in life. It just so happens that these best friends met online. Charles said that he first met his friends on Xbox Live when he was 13 years old. The four friends played Xbox together for years but never met in real life until they all met just before the wedding. The four guys were all from different states. The first person who Charles met was Joe Walters and then their other two friends named William Brown and Joey Morris joined up. Charles later shared his story on Twitter with a photo and the caption, “online friends are real friends”, which spurned many stories from other Internet users who met their friends online. Oh yeah, Charles also met his wife, Myra, on OkCupid.
