The will be husband and wife
met and fell in love after the flight they were meant to board at the
Toronto airport was delayed, 18 months later they have bought a house
together and are set to wed in September.
In
2004, 26-yr-old Marketing executive Kristen was just through a bad
breakup and was heading to Kenya to volunteer at an orphanage.
She
met 33-yr-old engineering supervisor, Darren who was also waiting for
the same flight and his buddy when she realised most people who had been
grounded had disappeared too. She was scared she had missed her flight.
“Everyone else had been given meal vouchers and had gone to get food, ” she said.
Darren and his pal then asked
her to sit with them while they got drinks and food, the pair spent the
next few hours eating and talking.
When it was
time to board the flight they found out there was an empty seat next to
Darren, the flight was going to be a long one so she sat next to him.
