Nice pic Springie!!!
TJ - I'm like you. I changed mine a couple of weeks ago to another of Robix's beautiful pics though (the garage one).
As for May - there is an old saying that a couple is "smelling of April and May" - implying that they are deeply in love.
This came from the fact that June was the traditional month for weddings, which meant that the banns had to be called no later than the first week in May.
Banns - until the 19th Century, in order for a wedding to be "legal" in England, the Banns had to be called in church 3 weeks in a row. This was bascially the MInister standing up and annoucnign the names of those wanting to get married and asking for any objections to be brought othim.
If, after 3 weeks of calling the banns, there were no objections, the couple could be married legally.
The Banns had to be called from the church in the parish in which the couple were being married from - when it was first brought into being, couples didn't move parishes.
