Celtic wedding

Pipe sound will be your ceremony background and we will perform the ancient celtic rites.
Druids usually officiated wedding ceremonies. Bride and groom were supposed to purify themselves seven days before the wedding took place, using the classical elements ( earth, air,  water and fire). They also had to make a rope together, usually white and red, as a symbolical union of the feminine and masculine sides.   
The day before marriage was dedicated to prepare offerings for “thin energies”. The rites were performed into the woods, close to sacred founts, or in clearings bordered by stone circles. The couple had to choose a stone for the ceremony, wash and purify it. This stone would stand for the historical memory of their family and would be passed from generation to generation. During the ceremony, the couple would drink mead from the same cup and then they would light up a sacred fire as a symbol of their love and passion. Handfasting could then take place with the rope the couple had made and it was kept as a sort of wedding ring. Handfasting was celebrated with a tinny rod decoarted with two animals at each end: a serpent and a bull, the female and male divinities. The wedding was concluded with music and circle dances.
