HANDFASTING CEREMONY
I found this article very well written by a wedding officiant Reverend Judith Guasch and she allowed me to share with you. I found it very informative.
This is BY FAR, is my most requested piece of both weddings and elopements! But what exactly is it? Ever wonder where we got the expression "Tie the Knot," when referring to a wedding?
Most Ancient cultures, had some sort of "binding" ceremony for weddings. The ceremony (before weddings were mandated to be held in churches, and recorded with the government) "Bound" the two people, and the families together.
The Old Norse called it a hand-festa, meaning "to strike a bargain by joining hands". This is also where we gained the custom of shaking hands.
But the one that survived the longest came to us from Scotland. The Council of Trent changed Roman Catholic marriage laws to require the presence of a priest. This change did not extend to the regions affected by the Protestant Reformation, and in Scotland, marriage by consent remained in effect. By the 18th century, the Kirk of Scotland no longer recognized
marriages formed by mutual consent and subsequent sexual intercourse, even though the Scottish civil authorities did. This situation persisted until 1940, when Scottish marriage laws were reformed.
During the ceremony knots were tied over and around the hands of the couple, thus ensuring them health, happiness and fertility. And so, we acquire the expression "Tie the Knot."
Today, I offer couples a memorable way to add this ancient Handfasting custom to any wedding ceremony, giving them a truly unique memory on their wedding day. Including a Handfasting in your wedding truly offers couples something different, which will have guests talking for a long time.
I recently performed a Handfasting at a wedding, for one couple whose friend had just returned from his military service in the Middle East. He told me afterward that the ceremony was "the most moving thing he had ever seen in his life, including his time in Iraq."
Many couples believe it is bad luck to "untie"
the cords, and so they choose to purchase the cords in order to keep them tied. When you do, you receive your cords, with hand-whipped ends to prevent fraying, presented to you in a beautiful keepsake box along with a certificate (suitable for framing) which you will sign during the ceremony.
We did it!
We tied the Knot!

Wedding Aisle Runner Trends for 2011
Wedding Aisle Runner Trends for 2011
Gone are the days when our streets were made of dirt, and aisle runners were used to protect the bride’s path down the aisle from the dirt and mud her guests would track down the aisle before she arrived. The use of a white aisle runner was symbolic to walking on holy ground.
Today, brides and grooms want the accents of their wedding to stand out and be as unique as they are. Elegance and style are of utmost importance. Today’s trends are to embellish on “the symbolic and the traditional”.
The first time a groom sees his bride in her beautiful dress and veil walking down the aisle, is still considered one of the most important moments of the wedding day. So, now brides choose runners that suit this momentous occasion!! Modern weddings are using hand-painted runners that can set the mood and create a look of complete elegance. They complete a theme, by having hand painted designs of monograms, quotes poems, or target a common interest they may both have. It creates quite a photo opportunity as well.
Runners now have crystal embellishments and glitter added to them to add glitz and silk flowers that give a 3D effect. The possibilities are endless. This is a HUGE trend that employs this dramatic visual as a reminder of the important union taking place.
As in days gone by, to protect the runner from your guests walking on the runner before you do, there are two options you can choose.
· If you want to have your runner already rolled out when your guests arrive, but don’t want anyone to walk on it, place a ribbon across the aisle and allow your guests use the outer aisles to gain access to their seats.
· You can wait till your guests are seated and attendants have already gone down the aisle and roll the runner out immediately before you-the bride are ready to walk down the aisle. This later method can add even more drama to your arrival!

Wedding Pictures and Personalized Aisle Runner
Just thought I would share a few pictures from my son and daughter in law's wedding day. It was July 30th, 2010. What a special day it was. Weather started to rain a little that day, but cleared in time for the outdoor ceremony they had planned. It was held at a state park in Illinois called Starved Rock. The setting could not have been more lovely and the couple couldn't have been happier. The last picture is of my son and daughter Mandy. I'm so proud of all of them. It was one of the happiest days of my life. Take a look at some of the pics!

"My Fair Wedding"
Started my day with Coordinator from David Tutera's show "My Fair Wedding" calling looking for an aisle runner. Needed for this Saturday. Had to decline. Very disappointed. My goal is to be featured on his show. This is the fourth time they have contacted me, each time I had to decline. Next time, for sure. I'm determined!
