A number of ladies and some men said that they wanted a similar ceremony for their wedding.

Our wedding was done as a "traditional" handfasting by a friend of mine (an "ordained" wiccan priest-meaning he has a piece of paper allowing him to perform weddings), and was similar (but shorter) than the one posted. We only had the one ribbon-guess our "virtues" are few!

Great article here with some info about historical marriage and handfasting in Scotland.

Handfasting, historically speaking, was actually a means of betrothal, not of marriage.

I know, it's supposed to be for a year and a day, then if it seems to be working out, you finalize it with a real wedding.

Hmmm....

We never did have that "real wedding".

Maybe we ought to do something about that after nearly 14 years!

And two children.




Be well,
