Do I know this couple? What a sweet photo – and sweet poem.

Nope, I don’t know them either–just a couple getting their wedding pictures taken in the park. Thanks

A sensitive, romantic description!

Aw, thank you!

I’ve stumbled upon weddings in several places in the world (most notably in New Zealand and Mexico), and started snapping photos, and no one ever shooed me away. I think newlyweds and their families are so generous with their love that it never occurs to them that even uninvited guests could be unwelcome!

Yes–I tried not to be too invasive, but there was certainly a contagious happiness that I felt needed to be captured (or at least attempted to capture). And I do recall your haibun about the wedding in Mexico; it was one of my favorites.

Is this in China?! I’m homesick…great poem!

It is! Oh no
Thanks, though

Don’t worry. It was a pleasant kind of homesickness.

A pleasant kind of homesickness…do tell! Hmm… the closest thing I can think of is nostalgia

Nostalgia. There ya go! Homesickness is not pleasant.
