Couple Celebrates 30 Years on Airline Where They First Met
The couple met after a five-hour delay and later built a family with six children and a painting company.
- On Thursday, Jeffrey and Salesia Larson celebrated their 30th anniversary by recreating the Southwest flight that sparked their relationship decades ago.
- A five-hour delay on a standby flight in Kansas City brought Jeffrey Larson and Salesia together in 1996, after he drove more than 400 miles from Minneapolis to catch the flight.
- That initial flight led to a first date in Phoenix, where Jeffrey wrote a poem on a napkin complimenting Salesia's smile, a keepsake she still treasures.
- Their daughter Gracie said the couple built a life with six children and a painting company, crediting their success to "kindness and the effort that they put into one another."
- Salesia reflected that Southwest's former open seating policy enabled such random, life-changing meetings, saying "They should've kept that open seating so that people can meet randomly like that.
