About Handfastings
History
Handfastings were how our Celtic ancestors married their beloveds. Throughout the ages, handfastings have always been sacred, and moving rites of passage. In modern day handfastings, vows of love are still whispered, rings are still given, and your hands are bound to each others, just as your hearts are bound.
A Sacred Ceremony
I conduct your handfasting ceremony from a deep place in my soul. I can conduct your sacred rite unscripted, using your story as a couple to make your ceremony incredibly unique and original.
