13 | Award-winning romance novelist Diane Merrill Wigginton went to 1 singles dance and met her husband while he was wing-manning for another guy. What unfolded could’ve been one of her own novels.

Rating: All Ages

After a decade of healing from a painful divorce, award-winning romance novelist, Diane Merrill Wigginton, felt a strong nudge to attend a New Year’s Eve singles dance… the first and only one she’d ever go to.
She didn’t know why, but she went.
That night, David showed up, not to find love, but as a wingman for his friend, who had hoped to meet Diane. But when David saw her, something shifted. He introduced her to the group… then couldn’t let her go. What started as a simple dance turned into a whirlwind romance: deep conversations, dinnerdates, country line dancing and a love that felt like coming home.
Diane was the first to say “I love you.” David proposed a month later. Five weeks after that, they were married. Four weeks later, sealed for eternity and expecting their first child together.
Blending two families into one, raising six kids, and now celebrating 27 years of marriage and eleven grandchildren, Diane and David’s story is part romance novel, part divine appointment… and entirely unforgettable.
