Wedding Photo Opp on the Diag

What's up with the parasol?

On a lazy Saturday August afternoon, there’s still plenty happening on the University of Michigan Diag. This couple chose the steps of the Hatcher Graduate Library as a perfect location to stage a wedding kiss.

From left-to-right: the bride’s white shoes, the parasol holder, the bride and groom locked in a kiss, the photographer lying on her side to get just the right angle, and one of Ann Arbor’s finest pedaling past.

University of Michigan Diag.  To the left are the steps to the Hatcher Graduate Library.

Some questions not answered for Chronicle readers:

  • What’s special about the Hatcher Graduate Library? Did they meet in the stacks?
  • Why did the bride shed her shoes for the photo? Would the heels have made her appear taller than the groom?
  • Whose idea was the low-to-high angle on the photo?
  • Why can’t that bicycle cop just mind his own business? Take a picture (like The Chronicle did). It lasts longer.
  • What’s up with that parasol?
