Sometimes social media can be used for the power of good.
It was the mystery gripping the Internet.
A moment in time captured on camera by a stranger and a quest to give a young couple a unique gift.
Over the past week social media has been captivated by the story of a photo.
A couple on their wedding day were kissing on Tower Bridge in London on May 16 around 8 p.m. Her veil blowing in the wind. Oblivious to what was around them. The chaos of the day finally giving them a moment alone.
Saber Miresmailli, a Canadian businessman who was on holidays in the UK, was in the back of a car driving past them when he saw the moment and took out his camera capturing it for his own holiday pics.
“They were all alone by themselves,” he said.
“I didn’t see any wedding photographer. I had maybe a 10-second window to take that photo” he told CBS NEWS.
When he got back to Canada and started going through his photos.
“It was pure luck I got it,” he says. “I was in a moving car, with no flash … but somehow they just looked so beautiful and the lighting was perfect.”
He knew he had to find the couple.
So he uploaded this post to Facebook.

It was their photographer who was having an issue with her lens at the time.
"The couple actually did have a photographer who had an issue at that moment with her lens.
Photographer Vanya Du Toit thanked Miresmailli on Facebook.
“When I looked up and saw them snogging, it immediately crossed my mind that I had just missed the perfect moment and I kicked myself,” she wrote. “So happy you got it.”"
