When we got there that Friday, sitting on the bench was a guy sketching. I basically said: hope it won't bother you but we're about to get married.
He said it certainly wouldn't - and that a different couple had just done so! And pointed out the flower petals and rice scattered under our feet.
I believe he's the person whose arm and shoe are just visible off to the side of this wedding photo.

About 7 months later, Leonard and I were on the subway, with some extended family, who were visiting. A guy we didn't recognize came over and said it was great to see us - still together - and explained, "You might not remember me, but I was at your wedding!" I like imagining that he still sees us every once in a while and smiles to himself. That couple over there, nestled against each other on the subway, laughing at each other's jokes, greyer hair, now with decades of practice navigating as a team. 3/3
