I had not heard about that part of the wedding-- what a wonderful, wonderful gesture! And kudos to whoever took that photo for this post. It's an incredibly moving and memorable shot! Also-- your and Stephanie's credo is absolutely true and sometimes we all need reminders about how lucky we really are. The other week, I had a particularly hectic work schedule and after a long work day I was departing my spot at a local coffee shop to return home for more work. As I was packing up, the barista there asked how I was doing and I grumbled about how busy business was. "But that's good!" she said, "In this economy, that's *wonderful* news!!!" She was totally right. I have a number of programming friends who have been laid off in the recent months. I am indeed blessed to be so busy... even if I was a little short-sighted and didn't recognize it at the time. :) Wow!
