Druid/Wiccan/Handfasting Weddings, Anyone?

Welcome to WW! I hope you'll stick around and update your avatar (the rings) so we can remember you and help you more in the future! This post tells you how to do that and more about the forums: https://www.weddingwire.com/wedding-forums/new-to-the-weddingwire-forums-please-read-before-you-post/b433c40c1a62b96a.html

Welcome to the WeddingWire Community @Mike! You've come to the perfect place to get all of your wedding planning questions answered! We have such a fantastic variety of diverse brides and grooms, planning all sorts of weddings here on the boards.

I definitely look forward to hearing more about your plans and inspiration as they develop!

We're doing the handfasting ceremony too as part of a tribute to our Celtic heritage. Granted, ours is Star Wars themed because we couldn't get anyone else to wear a kilt..... but it's still something. And it will be very different from the traditional "I Do" vows. This is the example I found and liked: http://wedding.lifetips.com/tip/21551/wedding-ceremony/vows/handfasting-vows.html

I'm Wiccan & my FH is on the fence pagan, in between Dianic & celtic pagan. We are just doing a plain handfasting, a mix of our beliefs in it, & easy enough for our christian friends/family to understand. I would start by finding a High Priest/Priestess in your area, have a consult find out if they can meet your needs for your religious beliefs. If you need a website to start with, www.witchvox.com is very resourcefull

Certainly begin with a good, qualified, minister that has an understanding of your individual paths. That individual should be able to meet with you, gain an understanding of your specific desires for the ceremony, and then work with you to make it a great day.

I am considering doing this as well and I am neither celtic, druid, or wiccan. We are not doing rings, I don't like the sand or candle ceremony, but I want some sort of ceremonial kind of thing. So I think we may adopt the tradition. Still learning about it.
