Kate Cunningham, 38, said it was one of the best decisions she ever made when she married the tree at Rimrose Valley Country Park in Sefton, Merseyside last September.

  She celebrated her first year of marriage with two friends and some elderflower champions.

  She said:

  “Trees will always come first.  They keep us alive.  "

  "Although a little embarrassing to my 15-year-old, he now sees the bigger picture and understands what it's for.

  "It's something that made me a little more confident. I don't care what anyone else says." Marrying the tree gave me a new purpose.

  "I changed my name to Elder. Even that gives me a whole new feeling. It also fits in with married life, I feel like a changed person."

  Dozens attended the ceremony, and local musician and poet Davy Edge performed.

  It was inspired by activists in Mexico who held similar ceremonies in protest to raise awareness of illegal logging and land clearing.

  She said:

  “One day I was looking around while hunting trees.  I said, "Oh yeah, fine, fine, fine" as I looked at the oak trees, but when I saw the elder I thought, "that's the one".  "It doesn't look like anything else.

  “This one stood alone between the trees.  “I often like to talk to the tree, I say hello and thank you for your good energy.  I just feel like trees are people.

  "You know when you are attracted to someone or smile at them as you walk by, there is only a natural attraction.

  “Trees and flowers are the same.  I like the story behind the elder.  "

  

  Forget the old adage about having to pamper your wife with cash to keep her happy.

  Although money is very important to the success of any relationship, two lovebirds can happily live without money.

  Use these tips to make your wife happy without spending a dime:

  1. Be sincere

  Your millions of dollars can't buy your happiness.  Women value men who are honest with them, and nothing scares them off than a dishonest man.

  If you don't like her outfit, makeup, or some habits, just let her know instead of paying a forced compliment.

  

  2. Compliments

  We all love compliments, but women especially have a weakness for men who compliment them.

  Make an effort to remind her how beautiful she is and never let her new look go unnoticed.

  Even though she already knows she's pretty, it hurts not to repeat it over and over if that makes her happy.

  

  3. Make your dinner

  While most men don't like to cook, most women appreciate a man who has the skills.

  Learn how to cook your favorite food and leave it on the couch when you are busy in the kitchen every now and then.

  Offering to cook or do the dishes for her shows that you are a caring and romantic man and that is every woman's wish.

  

  4. Get their flowers

  Go into the garden, pick flowers and make her a nice bouquet.

  With a small handwritten note with a cute message on it, drop the flowers on your desk while you work.

  This will definitely brighten your day and you will stay on your mind all day.

  

  5. Respect

  Now I cannot stress that enough.  In the patriarchal society we live in today, we get a man who really respects a woman for whom she is quite a job.

  Respect her space, privacy, principles, decisions, and everything she does.

  Unless she just wants your money, no woman of this age can endure a disrespectful man.

  

  6. The little things mean a lot

  If you hang out with your guys year round and she complains, you will think she is getting petty.

  But honestly, it's these very little things that matter most to women.  Listen to her, be there for her, open the door for her to appreciate her efforts.

  The end!!!

  

  Everything is not about money.

  I hope these tips really help you.

  cheers.
