David and Gwyn both went to the same high school in Watertown, SD but only knew of each other. Both moved far away from South Dakota after graduating.

Fast forward many years to a Christmas Eve flight from Denver to Watertown in 2019. David ended up sitting right behind Gwyn’s children, Thomas and Katelyn, on the flight. Though they did not speak on the flight, there was a moment at baggage claim where they made eye contact and smiled at each other.

David sent Gwyn a Facebook request a couple months later. In June of 2021, after having a few drinks at Greg and Jodi’s house, he decided to send Gwyn a DM on Facebook. For your viewing pleasure, screen shot of the exchange has been added below. The next day, after a two hour phone conversation, Gwyn immediately called her sister’s to find out all they knew about David being they had been friends with him in high school. He passed with flying colors!

Two weeks later, Gwyn flew to LA to visit David. This is not a move Gwyn would normally make so soon but after being trapped in a house for over three months during quarantine, and her sisters vouching for him, it sounded like a great idea. They did the flying back and forth thing every few weeks for a year before David made the move to where Gwyn lived in Arizona.

They were engaged in Sedona, Arizona April 23, 2022.

The couple moved to Denver, Colorado in August 2022.

God’s timing is always perfect. They went to the same high school, had multiple common friends, went back to visit their parent’s in their very small home town multiple times a year yet finally met on a flight in Denver twenty plus year later…a flight that Gwyn wasn’t even supposed to be on.

They were finally ready to meet their person. 🤍
