''I was shopping with my brother at Safeway, when I saw this beautiful woman there,'' Mr. Carvolth said. ''Then I turned and said, 'Hey, I know that girl, she went to Cornell.''' She was someone, he also told his brother, he had ''admired from afar'' while at Cornell.
''She was always with a lot of friends,'' he said. ''She seemed like the kind of person that everyone wanted to be around.''
He tried his best at being around her at Safeway, positioning himself in areas of the store he hoped she might see him and start a conversation, but Ms. Buerman, who had never seen or heard of Mr. Carvolth, simply went about her business and then headed for the checkout counter. He managed to get directly behind her while she attempted to pay her bill, and watched as she struggled through a conversation with the clerk who had been asking for her loyalty membership card. Knowing the store could look up members by telephone number, Mr. Carvolth stepped in and saved the day by offering his own card, thinking that would create a spark, but it didn't.
''He told me that he had also gone to Cornell,'' Ms. Buerman said. ''Yet I'm standing there thinking: 'What is this deadbeat doing at a supermarket on a weekday afternoon? Doesn't he have a job?'''
They each walked away with groceries but no contact information. But Mr. Carvolth went on Facebook the next week to contact a friend of Ms. Buerman's.

He is the son of Laurie Sternberg and Seymour Sternberg of Purchase, N.Y. The groom's father retired as the chief executive of the New York Life Insurance Company.
The couple met in 2013 while waiting for an elevator in the Midtown Manhattan building where the Boston Consulting Group's New York offices were then located. She then worked there, too. She complimented him on his tie -- a gift from his father that is one of his own favorites -- and he was, he said, instantly taken with her.
''It was her confidence, the way she smiled at me, just the connection that existed in that moment,'' he said.
