· The Dipping House

Ines Adair&Tomas Vell

We are getting married by candlelight, in a room that used to make candles. Dinner at long tables, toasts that run over, and dancing until the last taper goes out.

The bar on Ferris Street, and the argument that followed

Ines ran the late bar at a bookshop on Ferris Street. Tomas came in every Thursday to argue that the cheap red was better than the dear one. She kept pouring him the cheap one out of spite, and he kept coming back for it.

Seven years later they still disagree about the wine and agree about nearly everything else.

  1. 2019

    The first Thursday argument, over a bottle nobody remembers.

  2. 2023

    Moved in above the bookshop, with one corkscrew between them.

  3. 2026

    Proposal on the platform at Burnside Moor station, in the rain, between two trains.

    Candles lit. The long room goes dark, forty tapers go up, and the toasts start.

  3. 10:00 pm

    First dance, then the floor is open until the bar closes at midnight.

The full order of the evening
