It used to be that at weddings, the only one doing any recycling was the DJ. But brides-to-be are going green as much as white these days. Angelina Jolie is scrounging for wedding threads at Goodwill for her big day, and plenty of newly betrothed donate their duds once their happy day is done. Some recycle raiment, others forego gifts and set up charitable registries instead. Many live-in couples that may already have everything they need to start married life, happily say "no" to more clutter. Some even hold up their nose to cut flowers and choose potted plants or herbs, which can be recycled as wedding favors and taken home with guests for their gardens. This wedding season, though many lovebirds may not think twice about feeding landfills with their wedding waste, others are inspired to celebrate love by extending it to our planet.

We just attended the traditional wedding of my nephew...well, it was held under a canopy in a wooded area so I guess air conditioning energy was saved!
But the acts of kindness mentioned in this Spark are worthy and could get a couple off to a good start-"do unto others as you would have them do unto you"
Come to think of it, extending acts of kindness as a part of any group event (your book club?)could help make this world a better place!
