Under the huppah or royal canopy, nearly in shreds, stand askew the Royal couple.
The Queen is wrapped in tree roots and a single branch rises above the Couple.
The "best persons" are the Knights of honor to witness the marriage.

The ground pattern is made up of the squares of a chess board. It is never whole.
The complete board defines the rules of the Game and in our present world, there are no rules.
