Spring Equinox 2004

 

 

A wedding is one of life's major rites of passage. It is certainly something to celebrate! Today, wedding books and magazines promote large weddings so that more and more wedding products can be sold. Wedding expenditures run into many thousands of dollars. And after this major outlay of money, most of what is purchased is never used again.

On the Spring Equinox 2004, my ex-husband Larry and I "recycled" our marriage and got married again. We have been together for almost seventeen years, and had divorced several years ago when our relationship problems seemed impossible to resolve. But we still loved each other, so we figured out what to do to make things better, and are now happier than ever.

In planning our wedding, we wanted to keep it simple, sustainable, and full of meaning. Like every other part of life, choosing how to have a wedding can range from extreme environmental waste to choosing products and actions that move in the direction of sustaining our own lives and the Earth. As we planned our wedding, we used the same guidelines for health and the environment that we practice in our daily home life.

Given that most books and articles are about planning big weddings, I want to give a glimpse at another sort of wedding that can be beautiful and meaningful in it's own way.
