I really like this story. My favorite part was the irony of the last page. The entire story implies that the narrator is going to marry the plane man. It messes with the reader's mind and focuses on these events and details that make the relationship between the plane man and the narrator the center of the plot. The fact that she marries the man that saddened her at one point is very ironic. The mailman doesn't bring her the letter, making her begin to fake smiles at him. Ironically, she ends up marrying the mailman.
The other odd part of the story is that the title implies that the story will be about her meeting her husband, but the meeting of this man only takes place in a few paragraph. It is almost like the meeting of her husband was an afterthought that was thrown in at the end. The title of the work makes it obvious that that is not the case, but it does make the work very ironic.
