Been a bit quiet in this thread

With 3 days to go we have a ceremony change!
Within all the info stuff the registrar sent us by email (who just contacted us on Friday) there was some bits she had said to me to ignore as it was info from another district.
Whilst reading i found some bits for Handfasting!
Handfasting is the Pagan marriage ritual, with Rob being Pagan we had originally wanted to do this but didnt think it would be possible without hiring a druid etc and costing alot of money!

I emailed the registrar back and asked if she would do it, even though it was in the bits she said to ignore and she said yes!

So made a quick dash out to town today to find some ribbons/cord for the tieing the hands together part. weve gone for red, gold and green. The meanings for as below:
Red: passion, strength, lust, fertility
Green: finances, fertility, charity, prosperity, health
Gold: energy, wealth, intelligence, longevity

I did phone a pagan/wiccan shop this morning for advice on the ribbons and she suggested red and gold were popular, we wer ehappy with the meanings for those and added in green.

These are the "vows" for handfasting (or handbinding as they call it)

With a Hand fastening cord:

Woven into this cord, imbued into its very fibres, are all the hopes of your friends

and family and of yourselves, for your new life together. With the fashioning of this

knot do I tie all the desires, dreams, love and happiness wished here in this place

to your lives for as long as love shall last.

In the joining of hands and the fashion of a knot, so your lives are now bound, one
to another.

By this cord you are thus bound to your vow. May this knot remain tied for as long

as love shall last.

MAY THIS CORD DRAW YOUR HANDS TOGETHER IN LOVE, NEVER TO BE
USED

IN ANGER. MAY THE VOWS YOU HAVE SPOKEN NEVER GROW BITTER IN

YOUR

MOUTHS.
