Back on October 17, 2007, I was travelling from ATL to SMF on the last flight of the day. While waiting for the plane to board (please note that I was not flying Delta much back then, so I had no status) I struck up a conversation with a woman (Katherine) who was also waiting for the flight. I do not do this as a rule.
We talked for a while and found that we were both headed home to Sacramento. She suggested that we have lunch at some time in the near future and I agreed. Anyway, we boarded the plane. I was in the exit row and she was near the rear. I promptly fell asleep for a while and when I woke up decided to head back to see her.
Amazingly, she had one of the very few open seats right next to her so I sat with her for most of the rest of the flight. We had a nice conversation and found that we each had similar upbringings and lived in some of the same places. It turns out that each of our fathers were retired US Navy Captains.
To cut to the chase, we began seeing each other seriously and married exactly a year later on October 17, 2008. We felt the date was meaningful because it was fate that brought us together in Atlanta.
Now we are approaching our 10-year anniversary next month. We are celebrating by taking a Delta flight back to Atlanta on the same day we met (October 17) and then staying at the Marriott Marquis for a few nights.
