    A Handfasting is a very old traditional pagon way of Sacred Marriage. It's where "tieing the knot" came from! Created by the farmers and country folk, for a couple to declare their love for each other with their family and friends, generally in an out door setting, to conect with nature, (Goddess) as she gave them all their needs (as of course she still does!).

 Now days of course it is not a legal binding contract in the eyes of the law, but is a sacred self contract between the two of you, which can be for just a year and a day or for as ever long you wish! It can be a very simple ceremony, or as elaborate as you want. To me it represents the sacred side to a marriage, a chance to share/declare your love in your own way. I work with the elememtals of Air, Fire, Water and Earth and the Senses to create something unique and special just for you. The actual handfasting is done with 2 long ribbons around your hands towards the end of the ceremony, dont worry, you can easily slip your hands out at the end!

 I bring together a unique heart centred approach, with 20 years expierence of learning/training and my own sense of calm and down to earth abilities (I am a Virgo after all !! ) What ever approach your special day takes, my aim is for you to feel nurtured and cared for, to have the best start possible as you embark on your journey together.
