OFFER this volume to those who , with mutual affection , are about to be , or have I just been , united in the Divine bonds of Matrimonial fellowship . This Bridal Bouquet I wish to be redolent with the fragrance which sweetly wafted over that Eden where Marriage , pure and holy , with the Creator ' s special benediction , had its origin and highest enjoyment . Every Bridal garland brings its reminiscence of the primeval Paradise , and of the bliss of the first human pair , mated by Him who meant their perfect happiness It has been my aim in these multifarious and numerous quotations to indicate , in choice passages from the best Authors , the means of Matrimonial happiness and content . There is many a flower here , which , if it bloom in the household of married love , will diffuse its sweetness , in mutual delectation , confidence , and rest . With this design I have culled the blossoms for this Bridal Bouquet , and now present it , with the desire that it may add to the sweetness and joy of many a home where dwell the mutually loving and loved , and help to make it—in the sunny summer , the generous autumn , and the cheerful winter of married life—the fulfilment of all the promise of the Bridal Spring .
