Our Story

Like Tom Hanks in Sleepless in Seattle, when David spotted Lainie at the airport it was game over. Lainie was in her finest travel garb, hair blown out, green eyes glimmering...and in mid-conversation with a tall, dashing young man. David likes a challenge...so when the man got up and left, taking all his luggage with him except a single plastic bag that may or may not have held a bomb, Captain Morgenstern swung into action. As Lainie watched David calmly diffuse the bomb (cleverly disguised as four boxes of Girl Scout Thin Mints), she knew she needed to get to know this man. How to get his attention? She flashed her greens and casually let slip that she had 1,000+ Twitter followers. They continued chatting until David asked for Lainie's digits. They both lined up to board the plane, when to Lainie's horror she realized she was seated in economy class. As a platinum titanium diamond olympic medallion Skymiles member, she usually has a seat up front next to the pilot, but both she and David had changed their flights last minute (some would later call it fate) and now she was seated all the way in the back of the plane. They didn't have seats next to each other, but they did exchange some flirty texts until David fell asleep... (typical David as we now know) They ran into each other again at baggage claim. Lainie's hair somehow looked even more magnificent after the long flight, and her green pupils sparkled even brighter against the backdrop of her bloodshot eyes. David considered asking Lainie to share a car back to the city, but that seemed way too bold at LaGuardia airport in Queens in the middle of the night. "Wanna share a car back to the city?" Lainie asked. "Sure!" answered David. The Beginning
