Handfasting Ceremony
2:00 pm
8004 North Gabel Lane, Apple River, IL 61001
Our ceremony honors the bride's pagan beliefs and the groom's Celtic roots by incorporating meaningful traditions, including an elemental blessing and handfasting ritual - a beautiful ancient practice where our hands are literally tied together with cords, symbolizing our union. This is where the phrase 'tying the knot' originates. We invite you to witness and celebrate these sacred rituals with open hearts as we join our lives together. We are incredibly honored to share them with you.
