More than fourscore and seven years ago as the American founding fathers bound together their great states, visual ideas and symbolisms had to be agreed upon to properly represent the country as a whole. Bit by bit lawmakers beefed up their pride scale and pass these embellishments into law.
The first step to approach bouquet arrangement is, in believing that this can be done by either man or woman. This task is definitely not gender specific.

Her-story begins in Greek myth and lore during its golden days. This was the time as the story tells the great titan Cronus and his wife Rhea ruled the universe. Their union birthed into the inhabitants of Mt. Olympus and therefore she is referred to as the mother of all Olympians.

A picture may paint a thousand words, but when combined with the right message makes the medium more potent. Research evidence shows that the ancient Egyptians on papyrus scrolls first sent glad tidings. The Chinese also were historically credited with such devices for exchanging greetings during New Year celebrations. By the 1400’s the German also started this habit but with the use of woodcuts while the rest of Europe used handmade paper.

I. Counseling
For both spiritual and practical reasons it is advised the first part of the tradition is that you contact your parish priest for counseling six to nine months before your chosen wedding date. It is now a modern tradition these couples are required to enter a retreat, called differently from parish to parish but ultimately is designed to help the engaged couple grow spiritually as they take on their new roles and establish a strong base. This is scheduled with other couples and led by Church “teachers” and other laypersons that have been assigned by the diocese for this purpose. After a successful retreat all other items pertaining to schedules, venues, flowers and the composition of the weddings participants may be pursued.
The origins of the role of godparents in weddings are directly related to the practice of baptism and confirmation. By the second century AD baptisms were accepted as spiritual and social purification of infants and secondary parents or “sponsors” would enact to speak the child’s part in the acceptance of God in life. This also was the case in Confirmation as the rites of Christian passage into adulthood and so for weddings as the couple’s union binds them together as one. As religion binds families and communities together, Godparenting became a lifetime commitment with a promise to care the religious upbringing of all the children of God. The common thread among all these is that in every rite of a new beginning a hierarchy of spiritual maturity is expected and in case that the parents of the child cannot fulfill this obligation then the people who stood side by side during the parents should be able to carry the duty. The Spanish words for the godparent roles are used for members of the wedding party—padrino meaning “godfather” or “best man” and madrina meaning “godmother” or “matron of honor”—reflecting the custom of baptismal sponsors acting in this role in a couple’s wedding.

The roots of Valentine’s Day can be traced back down to ancient Roman mythology for festivals honoring Gods and Goddesses for Women, Marriage and Fertility.

In continuity of the celebration for women, marriage and fertility, a festival called Lupercalia was held on the next day.
