Two chance meetings
Stephanie and Dennis Markson met on a plane to Barcelona. They've been married nearly 50 years and have two children
Stephanie: We met on a flight from London to Barcelona in 1970. I wanted to have a drink but it turned out they wouldn't take money in the currency I had with me. Dennis was sitting across the aisle, one row behind, noticed I had a New Zealand passport and offered to pay for the drink.
