Issued for the ones who came.

Every wedding begins with somebody making a journey. Not only toward a room, a promise, or a photograph—but toward the people whose lives will be changed by both.

This edition follows one imagined wedding along its route, from a platform at 05:17 to a courtyard the next morning. The people in it are invented; the distances are the ordinary kind. Read it in order, as a journey, or open it at whichever station you happen to be passing through.

Editorial note: A work of editorial fiction; people, places and makers are illustrative.
