We offer a very traditional Hand Fasting wedding ceremony which is a
Celtic Wedding Ritual. It involves the tying together of the hands of the
couple with a ritual cord of some kind, hence the name, which means "Hand
Hastening." It is also the origin of the slang phrase To "Tie the Knot."
Hand Fasting is a symbolic ceremony to honor a couple's desire for
commitment to each other. The couple acknowledges that their lives and their
fates are now bound together. The word is used by the ancient Celts to
describe their traditional trial-marriage ceremony, during which couples were
literally bound together. The hand fasting was a temporary agreement, that
expired after a year and a day. However, it could be made permanent at that
time if both spouses agreed.
Symbolic Colors of the Hand Fasting Cord:
Dark Blue - for a safe journey and longevity
Light Blue - for understanding and patience
Pink - for romance, honor, partnership and happiness
Green - for health, prosperity, luck, fertility and beauty
Red - for courage, strength and passion
Yellow - for wisdom and harmony
Brown - for healing animals and the home
Silver - for creativity and protection
Gold - for unity, prosperity, and longevity
White - for peace, sincerity and devotion
