Read an Excerpt

I have always been fascinated by these words, by the imagery and symbolism rings represent. Hearing Granddaddy as celebrant, commissioning new couples with such thought-provoking words, leads my imagination towards other rings of symbolism and meaning—wreaths.

A wreath holds the same testament of never-ending devotion, while historically representing seasonal joys as well. Since the dawn of antiquity, wreaths have been used as adornment on doors, heads, tables, and homes. They are full of history, lore and representation.
