Hand Fasting Thousands of years ago when a couple wanted to become betrothed, they were symbolically hand fasted (cords placed around their wrists) for a year and a day. If at the end of that time they still wanted to be together they were officially married. In a wedding ceremony hand fasting can be incorporated as a very special element. The cords are plaited in colours chosen by the bride, sometimes matching the bridesmaid’s dresses or the colour scheme of the wedding. The cords are then knotted around the couple’s wrists and slipped off their hands without untying the knots. This gives them a beautiful keepsake to remember the promises they have made to each other. In a traditional religious wedding, you will see the priest or vicar wrap his stole around the couple’s hands. This tradition is where the words “tying the knot” and “the bonds of marriage” come from. A full hand fasting calling up the elements of mother nature, earth, fire, wind and water must be created within a circle denoted a sacred space. This is a much more involved ceremony and would take the place of traditional wedding ceremony. Call me for a no obligation meeting to discuss how we can make your day truly memorable.
