Handtying in celebrant-led Wedding Ceremonies: August 2023

Handfasting can be traced back to ancient Celtic traditions, where couples would publicly declare their intention to marry by binding their hands together with ribbons or cords. This act symbolised their commitment, unity, and the joining of two families. Over the years, handfasting has evolved and adapted to different cultures and beliefs, and today it remains a cherished ceremony in many modern weddings.
