This a 'version' of a handfasting and as is stated in the video there are many versions that originate from many cultures so the wording and the way in which the handfasting is done can vary greatly. This is only one example of how a celebrant might conduct it.
My fiance was telling me about this for our upcoming wedding. Thank you for your post, I found it quite informing and will be incorporating much of into our ceremony.
Thank you very much for those beautiful words. My love and me did a handfasting ritual last weekend. We used your words for inspiration, translated in Dutch and with adjustments to make it fitted to us. I will put them here, so maybe another can enjoy or use the words at their handfasting ceremony! Please put them in google translate if you want to know the English version (or any other language ofc.). It will be a pleasure if anyone uses it, please let me know if you do, and blessings to your bond!
FOR THOSE WHO DON'T UNDERSTAND OR DON'T KNOW PLEASE KEEP ASK I AM SURE SOMEONE IS WILLING TO TELL YOU!!! I am not "PUSHING" What I believe in onto you and dose it not say that in the bible if you are Christian that you shall not judge others before judging yourself. If you can't stand in the Mirror saying I am perfect then you can't tell others what they are doing wrong either and on top of that handfasting is the longest time on making each other whole the words may be different but it the same way as a christian would do it as they stand at the alter saying their vows to each other .
sparkdragonz your ignorant and you should keep quiet if you don't know the truth. Traditionally it is a celtic tradition for engagement. It is merely a commitment ceremony and has nothing to do with wicken or druidic, they have only recently adopted the traditional celtic engagement ceremony. So take some time to do a little research before you spread falsities.
+Lisanne Wozniak-Moore you can find handfasting wording on our blog by following this link theweddinggurus.net/2012/12/handfasting-ceremony-wording.html/ thanks for watching
What an insult. As a daughter of Ire and Alba I can't believe you just said this was like a cult. Handfasting is our ancient religious practice dating back since the dawn of human consciousness.
