Officially known as handfasting, this ritual has roots in Ireland
and England, and is commonly used outside of the Church. In
this ceremony, the couple joins hands and as each vow is
proclaimed, a string, ribbon or cord is wrapped around their
joined hands. My favorite, this ceremony encourages the
couple to provide physical pieces of their relationship history to
create the ties that bind. Handfasting works very well with or
without wedding rings.

In addition to the exchange of rings and vows, this ceremony
incorporates the lighting of candles or the sharing of wine by

The broom is a symbol of home, hearth and family, as well as
a threshhold of a new life. Most commonly seen in
African-American or Pagan weddings, after the handfasting or
exchange or rings, the newly wedding couple jumps over the
broom to symbolize their new life together.
