When snowstorms stopped Jennifer Lowther flying to her best friend's wedding, a total stranger came to her rescue, taking her on a breakneck journey and setting in motion a love story that's still going strong after 18 years.
(CNN) — It was the morning of April 4, 2003 and Jennifer Lowther was crying in the corner of a Toronto Airport lounge because she was going to miss her best friend's wedding.
It was early spring but a sudden snowstorm had plunged Toronto back into winter. Departures had stalled, the airport was buzzing with stressed travelers and staff dealing with the fallout.
Jennifer had been set to catch a domestic flight west to her hometown of Winnipeg. Her original flight was canceled and later planes seemed to be going the same way. It was too late to make the 24-hour road trip.
