Strictly for the birds.

throwing-myself-into-the-world:

In 2003 my friend Alex (that’s her there in the pink) went to an Anti-Iraq-War rally in Sydney along with thousands of other people. Midway through, she and her friends set up a picnic in the middle of the street and snapped a photo.

15 months later, she met a lovely boy named Tony at work and they started dating.

6 months after that, they moved in together.

3 years later they were engaged.

On Saturday, they were married.

But remember that photo up there? Well, one day Alex was looking through her old photos and came across this one and, as she showed it to Tony, they both suddenly pointed in awe at the left corner of the screen.

The guy walking past with the skateboard is Tony. Of all the protesters, commuters and passersby rampaging through the city that day, he was captured in that exact instant they took a photo. 5 seconds beforehand it would have been some other random, 5 seconds later he would have been gone.

I heart fate.

Wow thats crazy.
