Most rehearsals consist of the wedding party practicing lining up, walking in, and walking out. The ceremony itself is never rehearsed. So, rather than be a bystander at your rehearsal, I would love to have a conversation with you during the week leading up to your ceremony to review and double-check final details of the day.

If you aren’t working with a planner or your venue does not provide someone to run your rehearsal, then you might want to consider this option so that I am able to organize and facilitate it.

The Unity Candle can easily be added to any marriage ceremony. This is a popular choice for both religious and non-religious ceremonies because it is non-denominational and has no religious significance. The two outer candles represent your individual lives before today. They represent all that you are from your vast experiences, and they represent your individual families. As you each take a single candle and light the center candle, you will extinguish your individual candles.

$25

The Unity Sand ceremony expresses the coming together of two people or two families into one new family. It is a very simple idea that can be incredibly powerful.

Are you looking to incorporate some Celtic traditions into your special day, or possibly just looking for something “different” to add to your ceremony? One detail many couples turn to is handfasting. Couples love the visual representation that handfasting provides; it is literally “tying the knot” right in front of your friends and family. And, with some creativity and planning, the handfasting can be a truly meaningful keepsake for your wedding and heirloom to pass on to your children later.

Smudging is an ancient sacred ceremonial element that changes and shifts the air element. Cleansing your sacred space…your home or office, even your body with the burning of sacred herbs is like taking an energetic shower of pure Divine Energy. Adding this element before or during your wedding ceremony allows you to purge negative energy, allowing both you and your partner to start this new phase in your relationship on the right foot.

The sage ceremony can take place at any point in your wedding, though if we are adding it to the actual wedding ceremony, it is typically performed before the vows are said.

If you choose to add this to your ceremony, I will give your guests the lowdown on the sacred act of smudging, then begin the cleansing. If you’d like you may choose an intention, affirmation or prayer that you would like me to recite during this time to make it even more meaningful.

Once the cleansing ritual has finished, we will move into the vow portion of the wedding ceremony.

Remember, smudging isn’t reserved for weddings, you can use it to purify people or places at any time. Many couples incorporate it into vow renewal ceremonies, too.

Hand Fasting Ceremony, Wedding Services by Red Feather Healing

Hand Fasting

Are you looking to incorporate some Celtic traditions into your special day, or possibly just looking for something “different” to add to your ceremony? One detail many couples turn to is handfasting. Couples love the visual representation that handfasting provides; it is literally “tying the knot” right in front of your friends and family. And, with some creativity and planning, the handfasting can be a truly meaningful keepsake for your wedding and heirloom to pass on to your children later.

HISTORY
Dating back to ancient Celtic times, handfasting was, in the simplest of terms, the official wedding of the ancient Celts. Dating back far beyond 7000 B.C. in ancient Ireland, two people who chose to be married were brought together, often on a feast day such as Beltane, and faced each other. With arms extended, they clasped hands and a braided chord or ribbon was wrapped and tied around their hands, the Druid priest proclaiming the two persons are now engaged. This period of engagement would typically run the length of a full year, during which the couple were encouraged to cohabitate together (and consummate the relationship). It was a public declaration of intent to marry, signaling to potential suitors that the woman was intended to her betrothed and not to be harassed. After the period of a year was over, the engaged couple would return to the priest and declare their intent to be married, which would follow soon after. If they decided they were not a good match, the couple were allowed to dissolve their handfast and be free to choose another suitor and bride.

As Celtic culture spread from Ireland and Scotland through Britain and into western Europe, so did the customs of marriage. Handfasting became a staple of culture where all Celtic people resided, up through the introduction of Christianity. As Christian marriage ritual began to take over, some elements of the Celts remained, including handfasting.

THE CHORD
Handfasting involves the part that is actually tied into a knot — called the “chord.” Traditionally it was made of rope or dyed cloth. Today it can be anything from silky ribbons, thick or thin chords, fabric taken from heirloom dresses, or basically anything that could be theoretically tied around two hands. The resulting product is usually around a yard in length, allowing for it to be wrapped about the hands a couple, mimicking the Celtic knot pattern.

THE NUMBER
There is no set rule as to how many ribbons or chords can be used in this. For logistical purposes, you might not want to use something terribly heavy or some kind of scratchy material that will irritate the skin. But any amount will work. Some couples prefer for the ribbons to be symbolic; they will have one ribbon represent each of their children for example. Other couples will conceptualize their wishes for each other in their marriage; each ribbon is symbolic for that particular wish. Many, though, settle on the number 3. As is said in Ecclesiastes: “Though one may prevail against another, two will withstand one. A threefold cord is not quickly broken.” Pagan Celts also strongly believed in the number 3.

WHO TIES IT
Traditionally, as your Officiant I would tie the handfasting chord, but if there is someone special you would like to do it instead — parents, family, children — please let me know, and we can make arrangements. There is no set “rule” for this; traditionally anyone in the village could be the witness who tied the hand-fast.

AFTER THE CEREMONY
Usually the handfast chord is left tied to the couple; they are encouraged to slip it off with most of it still tied if possible. Some couples place it around their unity candle (if using) while others simply bring it home and frame it or place in a keepsake box.

Handfasting is really a lovely tradition, seeped deeply in Celtic history that has every place in your dream wedding.
