Summertime – the time of warmth, happiness, and weddings. It is a time to contemplate love. One of the symbols of love is Swan.
The gracefulness of the Swan, and its colour, are symbols of innocence and purity around the world. Additionally, most people, in all countries where Swan resides, see Swan as a symbol of beauty. The combination of grace, purity, innocence and beauty, make Swan synonymous with “love”.
As a symbol of love, Swan decorates wedding cakes, is featured on wedding invitations, and may be in the centerpiece or the hall decorations. In an outdoor wedding, Swan may be swimming in the river or lake. Swan is appropriate for weddings because Swan mates for life, and if it loses its mate, may remain solitary until death. Therefore, Swan is the proof of the “one life, one love” saying.
It is so beautiful, and so strong! This is the vision that men have of the woman that they will marry, and often, the vision that the women has of her handsome man. The theme that Swan conveys is that love enhances the beauty and strength for all those that carry love in their hearts.
It makes sense then, that the Swan is the favoured animal for Aphrodite – Venus, the goddess of love.
