## Background

In the sweet wedding of the couple led out of the forest by deer, the bride threw flowers picked from the forest to the guests who came to wish them happiness, hoping the one who caught them would be as happy as they were.

The young man who caught the flowers amidst the lively uproar also received sincere blessings from people. Perhaps infected by the sweet atmosphere, he became absorbed in skillfully weaving the flowers into a bracelet.

He passed the crowed and went straight through the gates of happiness, running all the way, letting the breeze blow by him until he arrived at a small house, where a girl with a smile as beautiful as a flower lived.

Panting, the young man knocked on the door. Before the girl could react, he grabbed her wrist and ran all the way to the nearby forest. The girl was taken aback by the young man, but lifted the hem of her skirt to run with him. She was full of curiosity and affection, her eyes fixed on his back.

The young man had reached the forest, and even with a deep breath could not contain himself. He held up the rudimentary bracelet he had made himself, and said dryly “look!”

The girl’s rosy face was more beautiful than the flowers. She seemed to know what was about to happen, as she had a slightly expecting smile. The young man couldn’t think straight, but managed to ask loudly “Will you spend the rest of your life with me?”

From then on, lovers often used the flowers they received from weddings to make such bracelets for each other in the hope that their love would last. Nowadays, people also use their own flower bracelets to thank the people who have helped them and to pray for a happy and fulfilling life.

### Background

Legend has it a long, long time ago, a pair of lovers went to the forest in anger at their families’ opposition to their love, but they were unable to find their way out for a long time. They were desperate, but they snuggled together under an ancient tree and made the decision “If we can never find a way out, we’ll simply live here”.

There was however, a miraculous turn of events. Deep from within in the Dark Forest came a beautiful doe, her whole body seemed bathed in light as it looked at them with bright, gentle eyes.

They looked long and hard at the doe, obviously of a different species, but they could see the emotions hid behind those serene eyes, as if the mother of life was blessing her child to be happy forever.

The beautiful doe then raised her head slightly as if to greet them, and turned away slowly to leave. The tip of her nose touched a branch that was growing sideways, bending the wildflower that grew from it. The two finally left the forest guided of the doe, and the girl took pity on the broken flower, so she picked it and carried it with her.

They came out of the forest as if blessed by the gods. They reconciled with their families, full of affection and trust despite their troubles along the way, and the lovers eventually went together to the temple of happiness.

Their meeting of the magical doe in the forest was announced at their wedding, and all those told thought it a miracle, and as time passed in gradually turned to legend: If two lovers go into the forest hand-in-hand and see a beautiful doe and return with the first flower it touches, their love will be blessed by the gods.

Though the legend can no longer be traced back to its origin, when you think about it, the forest must signify a predicament, and the doe the determination of the two to spend the rest of their lives together.

And nothing else matters, the most important thing is that the two join hands, hoping for a better future, and to overcome all unknowns the future holds.
