We're planting a tree at the end of our ceremony (more to come on the ceremony), and last weekend we fixed a location for said tree, and what type of tree it will be. It's going to be a Cedar of Lebanon (like in the picture), and it's going to be planted at the end of Arthur's parent's garden, so it will be quite a big feature in the view from the house (once it grows a bit!). It's really lovely to think of it growing for hundreds of years and people getting enjoyment out of it. Hopefully our marriage will last a lifetime, but the tree will last even longer. I'm really looking forward to spending a quiet moment planting it and reflecting on its longevity right after we seal our commitment to each other. Much as some people might think it's a cliché, I think it will be really beautiful.
