May Day! Marriage! More!

by Heather Long | More from this Blogger

Today is May 1st and in many parts of the world, today is known as May Day or Beltane. When you think of the name May Day you probably imagine flower baskets, flower wreath crowns, dancing a sun splashed day around a May Pole and twining the ribbons together? You are not alone imagining those things, but there is more to May Day than just that festive image that seems to come straight from Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream.

Marriage & May

The month of May is filled with numerous events for couples and families all around the world. Mother's Day is in just a couple of weeks, many children are wrapping up their school year and let us not forget that engaged couples with June wedding dates are in the downhill rush to the ceremony. May Day offers you and your spouse a great opportunity to celebrate the day.

Go A-Maying

If you and your spouse have the opportunity, you might want to take yourselves off for a night of camping in the woods or even in your own backyard. Pitch up a tent and spend the night making love together, rising early to watch the sun rise. This is one way to celebrate the fertility of the summer season and embracing the love you share for each other. This may also be referred to as a greenwood or woodland wedding.

Check out your local bed and breakfasts, many offer a getaway package for May Day. You can get away for a weekend, enjoy couples massage, champagne, strawberries and the company of the one you love. It can be a great time to rediscover how much fun it is to be just the two of you. Are you and your spouse considering conceiving another child? This is a wonderfully romantic way to celebrate the May Day.

Work on the Garden Together

Spend time together working on your garden, talking and just celebrating being the couple you are. You may collect some flowers from your garden and give them to neighbors, teachers and more to honor not only that friendship, but also the day itself.

Get all dressed up in some beautiful clothes, green is a great color this time of year. Take yourselves out for a night of dancing, making a wish in a wishing well and then take yourselves home for a night of making love - celebrating not only the season, but also your marriage.
