In the language of Flowers, Morning Glories mean Affection.
One of my wedding clients quotes the movie Shenandoah, where the woman's father says to the man who is asking for her hand in marriage, "I don't care if you love her, do you like her?" Simple, honest affection is the lubricant that will keep a marriage running smoothly.
Every generation has to figure out their own balance and timing for affection, passion, and romance in marriage.
As the social structure changes, you have to figure that out for yourself.
But one way or the other, affection is going to play a big role in your marriage if you want it to be successful.
And of course you do! That's why you're getting married! Now Morning Glories are not really flowers that you can tie into a bouquet or nosegay.
But you can find a wall of Morning Glories to get married in front of.
You can suspend huge pots of Morning Glories over the altar or over the arbor under which you're getting married.
They have to be still alive to be beautiful, you can't clip them.
There have to be masses of them so that the color overwhelms you.
Do you think that Morning Glories are the genesis for the saying true blue, which means always faithful? Affection in a marriage should certainly be "true blue!" So find a florist who can supply Morning Glories or plant big pots of them yourself.
Give them enough sun and water and they'll go crazy.
Promise one another constant affection as you make your wedding vows.
And then keep those vows in your marriage.
Remind yourself of your promise by planting a riot of Morning Glories in the Summer.
They're hardy; they'll bloom.
And so will your marriage, if you tend it carefully!
