Hand Fasting or "Tying the Knot"

A Celtic wedding ritual which involves the 'tying' of a couples hands/wrists together which symbolizes the coming together as one.

There are many variations of this ceremony,

Wine Box Ceremony

Each spouse writes a love letter expressing their feelings on the day of marriage, love for each other, and hopes for the future.  Both will place the sealed, unread letters in a box with two glasses and a bottle of wine or champagne.

The couple picks an anniversary or

a time in need to open the box, read the letters, and enjoy their wine!

The rock ceremony is a fantastic way to include all of your guests.  Though typically small polished rocks are used, you can substitute anything from seashells, glass, crystal, etc.  Each guest will make a wish for the couple and place their token into a single keepsake vase or container.  Optionally, some couples choose to put their guests names on their token as well.

Rose Ceremony

The rose ceremony is a simple exchange of a rose as their first gift of marriage.

It’s considered a honor to be included 

in the Ketubah signing ceremony

Ring Warming

Believed to be an Irish tradition, the warming of the rings takes place when the couple’s wedding bands are passed around by guests during the ceremony.

Drinking Wine

Cord of Three Strands

Wine has been a symbol of life and prosperity for centuries. There are several variations of using wine during a wedding, especially at religious ceremonies, but a common option is to have two small carafes of wine, one white and one red. After exchanging rings, the couple pours the wines into a third carafe, creating a blend. 

They each take a sip of the mixed wine to represent their individual lives becoming one.

Burying the Bourbon

Burying the Bourbon

Burying the Bourbon is a Southern tradition that’s said to prevent rain or bad weather on your wedding day. Exactly one month before your wedding, dig a hole at your ceremony site and bury an unopened bottle of bourbon 

(make sure that it’s upside-down). According to the superstition, you’ll have sunny skies for your wedding day! Right after you and your spouse

say “I do,” dig up the bottle and enjoy.
