Hi everyone! We will be having a Christian ceremony, but not in a church. Both FH and I enjoy old traditions, and I wanted to incorporate something different into our ceremony.
I like the idea of a handfasting unity ceremony because it symbolizes union, "tying the knot," and binding our lives to one another. I know this tradition comes from pagan rituals. I am also aware that many Christian traditions stem from paganism. Although, many do not recognize that.
What do you think about incorporating handfasting into a Christian ceremony?
Do you think anyone will even know it stems from pagan rituals? (My guess, probably not)
