There are two different origin stories accompanying this painting. According to the art dealer Nico Delaive, Constant got his inspiration in 1979 when he paid Delaive a two month visit in Italy. One day, Constant saw a bridal couple sitting at a large table with guests. He later declared to Delaive that this scene had formed the basis for the painting.
