Rainbow mural: Arcoíris

Rainbows have long been symbols of hope, promise, and unity, and in the context of marriage, they carry powerful symbolic meanings that reflect the ideals of a lifelong partnership.

“Rainbow” medicine is a representation of the commitment between two people — their love comes from two separate places and unites in the middle to create a perfect, beautiful, symbol. Marrying under this rainbow mural is a vow to remain together through life’s challenges, and above all, to find beauty after hardship.

Furthermore, the many colours of a rainbow represents the diversity and complexity within a marriage.

Just as a rainbow is made up of different hues that come together to form a stunning whole, a marriage brings together two unique individuals with their own strengths, personalities, and backgrounds.

This diversity, rather than dividing, creates a richer, more vibrant partnership. The rainbow’s spectrum serves as a reminder that marriage is not about uniformity but about embracing differences and finding unity within them.

And let’s not forget the magical pot of gold to be found at the end of each rainbow!

Often seen as a symbol of good fortune, the pot of gold represents the rewards that come from sharing your journey together, with its ups and downs, which leads to something precious—happiness, growth, and shared success.

Just as finding the mythical pot of gold requires perseverance and faith, so does a fulfilling marriage.

The “gold” symbolises the intangible treasures that couples discover over time, like deep emotional connection, mutual support, and the joy of shared experiences.

Thus, the rainbow in marriage encompasses themes of promise, diversity, and unconditional love, reminding couples that, like a rainbow after a storm, their union can bring beauty, peace, and light even in difficult times.
