Handfasting Ceremony- Beltane 1st May





Luis and I will be getting married in the old pagan way on Beltane in Istan on the 1st May 2009. Tieing the Knot derives from the tradition of "Handfasting". In olde Scotland, the poor who were unable to afford to marry, entered into "Handfasting" for 1 year and 1 day. Within that time period they would know whether they wanted to spend the rest of their lives together, or whether they wanted to part company. If they wanted to be together then within that time they would have saved enough money to afford a proper wedding.

We aim to be together longer than a year and a day. We are making a committment of love, presided over by a high priestess. Well known Irish Psychic and writer, Sandra Ramdhanie will be presiding our ceremony.

Our official signing for our marraige will be made in the court in June, where, in Spain it is seen equal to marraige of the usual kind. (Legal with same rights and opportunities).

Our handfasting is something where all who are attending have a part to play, bringing food to share, showing that weddings dont have to be too expensive and can be enjoyable as well as being a celebration of Love. We will be display the fotos and videos of the Handfasting Ceremony as well as providing a link to a website that will show the images of the day.
