A pagan handfasting dates back to our ancient Celt ancestors, the ceremony bound the couple together for one year and one day, this enable the couple to have a trial marriage to see if they wanted to make the commitment more permanent.
The tradition of tying the knot is a symbolic cord tied around the couples hands as a sign of infinity. You can have a full pagan ceremony or just incorporate some elements of a handfasting wedding.
Do you have to be Wiccan or Pagan to have a handfasting? You do not need to be either and you can incorporate the tradition into any ceremony.
Some examples are:
Jumping the broom
Blessings, prayers, pledges & sonnets
Herbs & Flowers
Food & Drink, traditionally mead (honey wine)
Ring blessing
