Visiting the Glass Flower fields and Glass Flower weddings

"There is that thing that couples started doing some time ago.
Have you ever seen the Glass Flowers, kid?
They are little, transparent flowers, which shape is really similar to lilies.
They grow individually in a lot of places.
They have a special property.
They change their color to the one of Element most present around them.
So normally, you wouldn's see a change in them or it would be too small and too long to notice.
  But there is one exception.
Sometimes, there are places, where all Elements flow in such balance, they neutralize each other.
For some reason, whole fields of Glass Flowers start to grow there.
And because there is no dominant Element, they stay transparent.
  People noticed that when someone enters such field, the flowers around them light up with the Element most present in that person.
But interesting things start to happen if two people stand there near each other.
It has been observed that when their Elements neutralize and no flowers change their color, their relationship wouldn't last long.
But if instead their Elements harmonize, the flowers around them would start to blink between both colors. Such relationship would last very long.
And if the two were perfect for each other, the flowers would create intricate, moving patterns.
Sometimes even The Tree Spirits would show up for such occasion as if to show that the couple would have The Tree's blessing.   A lot of people love to have their wedding to take place in those fields.
During them, it is amazing to see what kind of patterns appear when the guests stand near each other.
There were a few situations, where new lovers would meet each other for the first time, during such wedding, because they saw the flicker of the hues between them.
