JUNE IN WORDS
JUNE IN WORDS
“Green was the silence, wet was the light,
the month of June trembled like a butterfly.”
― Pablo Neruda,
“June suns, you cannot store them
To warm the winter's cold,
The lad that hopes for heaven
Shall fill his mouth with mould.”
― A.E. Housman,
"June is bustin` out all over / All over the meadow and the hill / Flowers bustin` out on bushes / And the roughen river pushes / Ev`ry little wheel that wheels beside the mill / June is bustin` out all over / The ocean is full of Jacks and Jills / With the little tail is swishing` / Ev`ry lady fish is wishin` that a male would come / And grab `er by the gills / Because it`s June, June, June, June / Just because it`s June, June, June!"
- Oscar II Hammerstein
“What is one to say about June, the time of perfect young summer, the fulfillment of the promise of the earlier months, and with as yet no sign to remind one that its fresh young beauty will ever fade.”
— Gertrude Jekyll
“If you could not do much in the month of April with five letters, think of what really you can do with the month of May with three letters before you open the door of the month of June with four letters. Which is the break time for the entire twelve months of the year. Until you clearly understand how you are spending the year, you shall finish spending it and ponder over how you spent it, year after year! No one is absolutely free from excuses and the challenges of life. You just have to do something great with each day in the year!”
— Ernest Agyemang Yeboah
“A perfect summer day is when the sun is shining, the breeze is blowing, the birds are singing, and the lawnmower is broken.” – James Dent

JUNE WEDDINGS
JUNE WEDDINGS
June is the most popular month of the 12 for weddings. Of all the weddings that place in the course of a year, the largest per cent occur in June followed closely by August. Perhaps the reason for this is the fact that June is named for the Roman goddess of marriage Juno. It is thought that if a woman is a June bride that she will always be a bride and that husband will always have a sweetheart for a wife.
The rings in the wedding ceremony of the eternal pledge or vow that couples take to each other, as when the ring is placed on the finger it has no beginning point and no ending point. Thus it is the symbol of eternity.
Since the bride is considered to be lucky, the custom arose in England of tossing the bouquet as a way of passing along the luck, less her wedding gown be stolen by another woman.
Something OLD for the bride represents continuity and stability for the couple to take forth in their new lives.
Something NEW symbolizes optimism and good fortune in their future.
Something BORROWED symbolizes borrowed happiness from some one who loves you.
Something BLUE represents love and fidelity.
As for the Wedding Registry, that was begun by Macy's in 1924.
