Every year, on the anniversary of the September 11th attacks, Elizabeth Stringer Keefe has posted online the same wedding photo a friend found at Ground Zero, in the hopes that she could reunite the photo with its owner. She tried again this week:

The photo got lots of attention online, and was retweeted by lots of people, including celebrities like William Shatner and Blake Shelton. And then, just last night, a breakthrough:
@ProfKeefe I KNOW THE PEOPLE IN THE PICTURE! I was at the wedding.

Keefe and Mahe connected, and she managed to speak with him directly:
