I would say this was the wedding of the century, but that
would be an understatement. This was the wedding of eternity. The wedding of
the universe. There was never again a more important wedding. It was the first
wedding, Adam and Eve’s that is.
No celebrity wedding
will ever come close to matching the icons that were at this special event.
There were angels at this wedding, multiple at that. Every species of animal
living on earth was in attendance. Not to mention the most important guest of
all, God. This wedding set the stage for all other wedding to come.
The most memorable thing about this day was light. There was
so much light all around. Also, joy. Everyone and everything there was full of
joy that multiplied around the earth.
The animals that attended all added their own unique gifts to the
ceremony. The birds chirped and flew in perfect symmetrical patters around the
sky. While the grasshoppers jumped around and around placing leaves and shrubs
to coat the ground. All of earth’s creatures came together to celebrate the
beauty of Adam and Eve’s unity.
The day started early with the angels helping Eve get ready
for the big day. The angels had been working hard on getting her outfit ready.
They dressed her in casual elegant white cloths. This dress blended in with the
elegance of the wedding and with the earth in which they shared it. These
cloths’ flowed effortlessly with the wind and made Eve feel beautiful. The
white symbolized Eve’s purity, as pure as the bright light that surrounded her.
Eve was glowing from ear to ear, excited for the day to come.
Adam bathed in a nearby river that morning, to cleanse his
body of any dirt or impurities. The doves had sown him a skirt of leaves for
him to wear for the ceremony. The earth
was also a critical element to this wedding. There was greenery surrounding the
whole wedding alter and intricate vines lining the archways of the isle.
Flowers of all colors were represented at this ceremony; Rosebuds, sunflowers, daffodils
and more. Tall willow trees created shade for the guests and added to the intimate
ambiance.
The ceremony itself was grand as well. God officiated it and
presented the values of all weddings to come. Once the ceremony ended Adam and
Eve left as husband and wife. Their covenant of marriage could finally begin as
God had planned all along.

Authors Note: This story is based on the story of Adam and Eve. Nowhere in this story does it go into much depth about the surrounding of the wedding. The story does tell us that God, animals, and angels were in attendance. It also describes what God talk's about during the ceremony. I just though it was such an amazing event in history that it would be fun to try and imagine what that day was like.
