This story about two random people *maybe* falling in love on a plane is too perfect

Please fall in love.

Air travel can be a truly awful experience that involves being waaaaay too close to far too many people. But there's also something strangely romantic about it. Especially when your trip involves potentially falling in love with a fellow passenger.

Rosey Blair and her boyfriend were on a flight home on Monday night, but their seats were in different aisles. Rosey decided to ask a woman to switch seats with her. In so doing, she may have altered someone's life forever.

"We made a joke that maybe her new seat partner would be the love of her life," Rosie tweeted, going on to give the internet a detailed play-by-play of what happened next.

Apparently, the two mystery people instantly hit it off.

They were both into fitness, too. This is a good start.

The entire flight, Rosey kept a close eye on any arm touching that was going down.

It was clearly the highlight of their flight.

The couple did not get drinks, but they did share a cheese board. How romantic.

They even shared family photos.

Rosey originally posted the plane saga to her Instagram story. Her followers were hooked.

Things got pretty serious.

THEN IT GOT REAL SERIOUS.

After some internet sleuthing, Rosey's boyfriend Houston found the mystery couple's Instagram accounts.

That's where they found out they're both single.

And they're both based out of Dallas,Texas.

"They're gonna fall in love, and get married, and have babies!" Rosey said excitedly.

Whoa, Rosey, let's slow things down a bit. You may or may not be invited to the wedding.

UPDATE: July 4, 2018, 9:39 a.m. PDT On Tuesday evening, Euan Holden retweeted Rosey, claiming to be the man on the plane. "Knew you were taking pictures," Euan wrote.
