IThe Arrival
Brick path.
A path of weathered brick beneath Kalach's Catalan vaults. The dusk light paints the terracotta. Barefoot.
Chapter II · Ember
Ember.
Three nights at Casona Sforza. A wedding written in fire.
Chapter composed by The Wedding Book for Casona Sforza
Fire from the wood that cooks. Ember that signs the meat. One candle lighting another.
Three nights. Five movements. An iron chandelier above the vault, a chain of one hundred forty-four candles, a dining hall with no light but fire. Nothing decorative. Everything necessary.
Chapter set at

II
The Fire
The chandelier.
Four meters of wrought iron. One hundred forty-four beeswax candles. Hung above the central court. Wax drips. It is the only light.
IIIThe Rite
Candle by candle.
Each guest lights their candle from the one beside them. The officiant begins. The couple closes. The light travels the table in a chain.
IVThe Plate
Over the ember.
The day's local catch and Oaxacan corn cooked over live coal. Recado negro. Wood-smoked mezcal. Three plates. One material.
VThe Takeover
Vault on fire.
Dinner runs the length of the long vault. Wooden table, raw linen, black clay. No electric light. The architecture was already there.
