He is 99 years old and stood up during the ceremony.
While everyone watched the bride walk toward the altar, he took out his own video camera, the one he has probably kept for decades, and never lowered it. He did not use a cell phone like the rest of the guests. He reached for the device he knows, the one he surely used to record other important family moments throughout his life.
In the video, he can be seen focusing on the altar with a steady hand, adjusting the angle, without missing a single second of his granddaughter’s wedding. At 99 years old, that was his gift: to remain standing for as long as necessary so that day would never be forgotten.
