A couple of hours later a stewardess brought up a birthday card that they had cobbled up on the back of a First Class Menu card and all signed for a "Lady down the back whose birthday it is ", and wanted the Captain's signature added. I refused and said " I want to see her first, bring her up. "
A few minutes later this gorgeous lady walked on to the flight deck and said "Hello, I’m Xxxxx "
I signed the birthday card and …..we were married 5 months later. ( 34 years ago )
That's a lovely story - no aircraft involved but I met my wife in May and we got married in September the same year - 32 years ago. Sometimes you just know...!
