Elizabeth Stringer Keefe has been posting the photo online every year around 9/11 in hopes of finding its owner.
After years of getting nowhere, this time the picture finally took off. Since Thursday night, it was retweeted more than 58,000 times and led to a Reddit post where thousands of users tried to help locate the owner. It worked.
@ProfKeefe I KNOW THE PEOPLE IN THE PICTURE! I was at the wedding.

"The picture was at my desk in the World Trade Center, Tower Two, on the 77th floor," Fred Mahe told Boston Magazine. He said that the photo was originally taken during a friend's wedding in Aspen, Colorado, in 2001.
