I celebrate all kinds of events, not only weddings. This was last year’s welcoming Spring ritual. The young girl and the Green Woman reminded us all of renewal of our own youthfulness and the renewing power of the earth.
As you prepare for your wedding, spend some time noticing the signs of Spring in the earth around you—and how you feel as you notice those changes. A couple just told me yesterday about the work they were doing on their landscaping last weekend when the temperatures were so inviting. The increased light and warmth just naturally leads us to such activities.
As you work on the plans and preparations for your wedding, see what happens if you consciously unite those activities with the signs of spring around you. What are the “seeds” that you are planting at this time? how are you nurturing the plans you have already begun? what needsmore light ?(guidance, attention), more water? (feelings, and flow); what ground have you already laid that you just need to let it be, trusting that it is growing and will manifest when the time is right?
Invite your partner to celebrate Spring with you with a special date, some time to enjoy the Spring air, share your feelings about how yourwedding plans are going, honor the youth of your relationship with memory-stories, poetry, songs; take a break from working and spend some of your favorite play time together. It’s the springtime of your marriage; enjoy!
