Narrative:
While parking our aircraft the ground marshal put us too close to another aircraft. The wingtips touched. We had a wing walker on the other wing, but their coordination was not good enough to avoid hitting the wing. When the first officer saw that the wings would touch, we both applied the brakes, but the wingtips grazed each other.
