Eight days before Valeria's wedding, Sarah and Julian land in Guadalajara on the six o'clock flight, and Valeria takes them straight to eat the city's most famous sandwich.

Valeria's flat is full of boxes, lists and her mother, the seating plan is a disaster, and the wedding photographer turns out to be someone they met that very morning.

Diego and his grandmother arrive from Mexico City, and Dona Carmen remembers Sarah from her very first day in Mexico.

In the crafts town next to Guadalajara, Sarah and Julian look for a wedding present that isn't a blender, and find blown glass.

Valeria's friends throw her a surprise party at the flat, with a veil made of toilet paper, a game about the groom and a lot of advice, while the men watch the first leg of the football final at a taco stand around the corner.

On a day trip to the town of Tequila, an old agave harvester shows Sarah, Julian and Diego how to tell when a plant is ready, and an old distillery shows them the rest.

On the night before the wedding, Father Tomas rehearses the ceremony in the empty cathedral.

Valeria and Diego are married in the cathedral of Guadalajara.

At the wedding party, in a garden full of paper lanterns, the sponsors are called to the waltz, and Julian holds out his hand.

The morning after the wedding, Valeria's flat smells of chilaquiles, Diego is singing in the shower for the third time, and Julian reads an email that turns him pale.

Monday night, back in Oaxaca, Julian comes to Sarah's balcony with tamales and a folder full of papers, and explains why he never mentioned the grant, and what his project is about.

On Wednesday, December 23rd, the main square of Oaxaca fills with sculptures carved from giant radishes, and the queue goes all the way round it.
