One of my fondest memories as a child was helping my mother in her marigold garden. While I played with dirt and worms and water, she was busy weeding on her knees. There in the middle of all these bright colored fun flowers was my beautiful mother taking such care of each blossom like they were individual children. She loved to feel the earth and watch flowers grow from seeds. She often said it help her cope with difficult times. While my sisters and I squirted each other with the hose and gave each other wheelbarrow rides,  my mother continued to garden in bliss. 

To be green is to show respect and love for all beings and creation. It is living in balance with nature. It is a consciousness that reflects life values and beliefs. Being green is a way of life. Many couples across the planet are choosing to celebrate their commitment in marriage by honoring this green lifestyle they feel environmentally and socially committed to. It only seems fitting that they start their life together as an environmentally conscious couple. Making a wedding earth friendly becomes part of the celebration and at the same time raises awareness. The Green Wedding has been created.
