The canopy covers the bride and the groom as it represents divine light. The light of the highest, the light of deepest understanding, the light of all creation. By the power of this symbolism, the uppermost spreading branchy layer of tress with the rays of the sun illuminating its green body we call the canopy of the forest.

" I met her as a blossom on a stem

before she ever breathed, and in that dream

the mind remembers from a deeper dream."
