HERE'S THE STORY WE TOLD EVERYONE AT OUR WEDDING. OUR GUESTS THOUGHT WE MADE IT UP.
12 years ago, we sat next to each other on a flight from Houston to Orange County. Though I wanted to rest, I couldn’t help but enjoy listening to the accent that kept coming out of this man’s mouth.
We talked the whole way.
We exchanged numbers after the flight but I threw his away.
2 days later, he called me and I couldn’t help but keep his voicemail saved on my phone so I could listen to it over and over.
I didn’t call back.
Until ...
2 weeks later, I had a project to complete in NY. I had already been there 3 days when I realized how lonely I was.
So I picked up my phone and listened to that English accent saved on my phone once more. Then I called him.
No answer.
2 hours later, he called and said, “I apologize if I’m calling too late. I was on a plane when you called. I’m actually in the East Coast at the moment.”
“Wow! What a coincidence! I am too!” I replied.
“Actually, I’m in Jersey right now, driving to NY tomorrow,” he said.
Slightly shocked, I said, “So am I!”
“Wait, you said you always stay at the Marriott hotels. You wouldn’t by chance be at the Saddleback hotel in Jersey ... would you?”
Now I was getting a little creeped out. How in the world did he know where I was?
“Yes ... “ I said.
“Can you do me a favor then?”
A little worried, but curious about what he was going to ask, I said, “ok ...”
“Please pick up your hotel phone and dial this number.”
He gave me a 4 digit number and I dialed it.
Turns out, his room was directly above mine!
We couldn’t help, but meet downstairs and ended up talking in the lobby until 2 am!
Coincidence? Wish I had enough space here to tell you about the coincidence with our flight home!
It was true blue serendipity! And exactly 2 years later (same week we met), we were married!
10 years of marriage and we are still good and strong. I can honestly say, my heart is full. He completes me
Siip’nm naksu, sigyemga g̱oodu 'nüün. My loving husband @mikedangeli, you make my heart glow. ❤️

Cutting meat and flirting Something about this photo makes me see what we’ll be like as old people and how much we’ll make our children and grandchildren blush while we’re teaching them to put up our foods
