Twas a brilliant day of sight-seeing and just generally enjoying each other's company. But the couple knew that it was coming to an end in less than twenty-four hours. Who'd have thought that two planes headed to two separate destinations would somehow ended up landing at the same airport with mechanical issues? Certainly not these two.
