In most of South Indian weddings, the areca nut (also known as betel nuts) and the betel leaf are important symbols of love and marriage. The combination of areca nut and the betel leaf is ideal to the point that they are practically inseparable, like an idealized married couple !!

Nice one!
Never knew of the ‘inseparable’ logic!! You are right! Both should go together… always! 🙂
Beautiful!
