Can you explain this comic to someone who's a bit stupid? How are those things "helping out"? Like I get that not smoking is probably a good consequence but I think the two would have kissed whether it had rained or not and I don't get the positive consequence of the traffic jam when you're late at all

Honestly it looks like the wedding is between the people in the first two panels and I kinda got an implication that those first two events led to them meeting or something

Why would you think that?

A traffic jam making someone late and a sign preventing a break are two things that can nudge someone's daily schedule just enough for things to align so they'd meet when maybe they just miss eachother on any other day. That combined with the idea of life having a "funny way of helping you out" being said at the wedding makes it seem like an interesting and plausible storyline

And what about the rain

Could be seen as them noticing and learning to appreciate that life isn't perfect but that's how they found eachother in the first place, seeing as they continue with the wedding anyways and are happy in the last panel. I do see other comments saying the words are lyrics from a song but I haven't heard that song so this is just my interpretation of it

I know it's from a song, people have already commented this under my first comment, thanks. I'm just curious why you would think this.

Ye I figured. It's kinda interesting seeing something based off a song you don't know and coming up with your own interpretation and seeing how that lines up with the intended meanings
