Piergiorgio Di Falco — Reportage di Matrimonio Inquire about your date
Two hands fasten the groom’s shirt collar as he lifts his chin to the warm light of the room.

Andrea’s morning

A single morning, not a whole day. I keep it because it holds the things I look for: hands doing something for someone else, and nobody looking at the camera.

From the waistcoat still laid out to the flower in the buttonhole, one hour went by.

At first everything is laid out and still. Then, in half an hour, each thing finds its place.

The grey cravat, already held by its ring, on the white shirt.
The pale grey waistcoat with its chain and buttons, laid out before it is worn.
The white collar and its pin, close up.
The groom by the pale curtain, eyes closed, fastening his collar.
A man’s hands fastening the cufflink at the groom’s cuff.
The cufflink at the cuff, held between the fingers.

Half an hour later we step outside, among the cypresses, for the last thing.

Outdoors among the cypresses, a man straightens the lapel of the groom’s jacket.
Pinning the buttonhole flower up close: their faces almost touching.

Your day, from the first button

Tell me the date and the place. I reply personally, within three hours during the Italian day, and I’ll tell you whether I’m free.
