Thank you soo much for this video! I know that it was intended for couples during the COVID lockdowns, but this is so very helpful for my husband and I now. We’re already married, but are renewing our vows when we’re in Scotland next month (we’re based in the US), and wanted to do it privately. We wanted to included a handfasting ceremony as part of it and this video is great! Thanks again!
This video is fantastic and so relaxing as I wanted to do this for my friends wedding after they have it done by a celebrant a keep sake with a ceremony cord and could find any where to show you how to apply the cord I loved it thank you so much
Thanks so much Lindy, this is wonderful! My first mini handfasting this weekend and you have made this so easy to follow and understand. Remembered it too after the first go because of your clear explanation. Thank you! Lucky couples to have you as their celebrant xx
you all probably dont care but does anybody know of a method to get back into an Instagram account? I somehow forgot my account password. I love any assistance you can give me
@Kayden Aaron I really appreciate your reply. I found the site thru google and I'm waiting for the hacking stuff now. Seems to take a while so I will reply here later with my results.
Kate and William were married in a Christian religious ceremony in West Minster Abbey there was no hand fasting ceremony. And should you not always be referring to yourself as a Celebrant and not slip to calling yourself a celibate... which has a whole other meaning?????
Hi Cait, if you watch Kate & William's ceremony, just after they have exchanged rings they are asked to join right hands and a piece of cloth was then wrapped around their hands and a blessing was given. In terms of Celibate/Celebrant, I'm not sure what you heard, and it might be my Ayrshire accent but I'm definitely a Celebrant ;)
I'm curious are there any different ways to make a handfast knot when the cording you are using is flat and wide? I had a traditional irish crios made for our wedding but due to it's nature it's hard to get a good knot style done and it not look awkward. I'm hoping to leave it knotted after and put it in a shadow box so I'm trying to find a nice knot style that can work for it. Any help would be appreciated.
Most useful, thanks Lindy! As a piper I'm starting to be asked to do hand fasting at types of more private ceremonies some couples hold after their official wedding ceremony.
Is it standard practice to give a speech while tying this knot? I've been asked to perform a wedding with this traditional practice and would like to respect the tradition as best I can.
