When I look up "handfasting", it seems to be all about tying thin cords around the bride and groom's hands. But there was something else that, as far as I know, is also referred to as handfasting, but which I've been unable to find reference to.
What I'm looking for is where the bride and groom clasp each other's arm (not just holding hands), and their combined arms are wrapped with a very wide ribbon. The ribbon spans across their arms, rather than trying to be tied in a knot.
Has anyone else heard of this, and know what it is called? I'd like to find more information on it, but all of my searches return the same results.
