[QUOTE="Julius Germanicus, post: 2839632, member: 80783"]Thank you guys! I found this on a german site: "The history of the myrtle wreath dates back to ancient times. The myrtle was sacred to the Romans of the goddess Venus, in the Greek mythology of Aphrodite, the goddess of love and beauty. Therefore the branches of myrtle are a symbol of love beyond death, but also for virginity, vitality and many healthy children. A bride was already decorated with a myrtle wreath in ancient Greece and Rome . In the sixteenth century, this custom was also introduced in Germany and was even further developed. From the bride's myrtle wreath, after the wedding, a branch was rooted in the earth. The evergreen plant should symbolize lasting happiness." This is a symbolism even my girlfriend likes :-)[/QUOTE]
