While releasing a male and female, I met a mother with two young sons. I offered the release to them and they eagerly accepted. I showed them how to tell that one was female and one male. The boys had been to a butterfly house and the butterfly they held fell to the ground. This time the monarchs didn't disappoint and neither did the boys. One reached into the cage and gently lifted it out. The other boy wanted me to assist but the monarch crawled onto his finger. Both monarchs soared high into the canopy. Both went to the same tree and branch. They thought they were a married couple.
