What was the state of Adam and Eve in Paradise?

How jubilant was the earthly creation — indeed the entire universe — when Adam, then Eve, were created! They were both in the Garden of Eden, dressed in wedding garments of unsurpassed luminous splendor! St. Jacob of Sarug says, “The bride and groom stood in garments of light with which they were clothed, and they captivated the world with joy for them and His gifts. The Day laughed before the bridegroom and gave him all its light for his enjoyment … Paradise opened its lofty gates for the bride and groom to enter the bridal chamber of joy that had been prepared.”⁴⁸¹
