    • The image features two side-by-side photos labeled "how it started" and "how it's going." On the left ("how it started"), there is an older photo of a young couple standing with large backpacks outside what appears to be a train station in Katowice. They look casual, dressed for travel, with the station's signage in the background. On the right ("how it's going"), the same couple is seen 5 years later, now dressed for a wedding. The man is wearing a suit, and the woman is in a white wedding dress. They stand in a similar pose in front of the same location, but with the building now bustling in daylight. The image visually captures the couple's journey from travelers to newlyweds, with the setting remaining the same.
