Psyche and Eros get married. Standing on a rock in her wedding gown and with flowers in her hair, she holds a bunch of white lilies. Behind her is Eros, who she still hasn’t seen. Three ondines (water nymphs) rise from the water holding chalices in celebration of the marriage.

Overview
represents a stage of initial completion
the end of the first stage of falling in love and a suggestions that a commitment to a future has been made
celebration, an experience of emotional fulfillment, completion of the initial attraction
naiveté
the stage of enchantment where one has yet to see their real partner
an initiation into life, that’s full of promise
a card of transition (from maiden to bride) with more to come
marriage as the first step on a long road and not the end goal
White Lily
purity, virginity, innocence
peace
Aphrodite hated the flower for its chaste appearance and added the pistil, which resembles a donkey’s penis, to it
associated with that which is beautiful or humble
Random Thoughts
the beginning of mother-in-law drama
two people who really don’t know each other in a relationship with one another
the rock could indicate a strong foundation to the relationship
being in love with one’s savior or Prince Charming
representation of blind love

The keyword/phrase I came up with doing my workbook exercise on 26 Oct 91 was "early joy".

Ahh yes ... I just got this deck. The first thing that struck me with this card is the real feeling of a marriage (as opposed to other cards).

Nice to see the descriptions here and know I'm not going completely mad! :laugh:
