6. The remembrance parchment
In addition to the two official witnesses, would you like to have other witnesses? Here is the solution. You will all sign the remembrance parchment.
You can use the graphics to match the rest of the ceremony and keep them as a souvenir.
This is also a suitable moment of the ceremony for photographs.
7. The handfasting
The handfasting derives from an ancient Celtic tradition in which the joined hands of the bride and groom were tied together during part of the wedding ceremony, symbolising their commitment to each other.
Today, ribbons of different colours are chosen to symbolise wishes or promises, or ribbons that recall moments in the lives of the bride and groom.
Friends or witnesses can take one ribbon at a time and wish the couple well.
At the end, the ribbons will fly, creating a very beautiful moment to remember and photograph.
8. The lighting of the candles
The candle-lighting ceremony usually involves the couple lighting a large candle with the help of two smaller candles, representing the families they come from.
Mothers, parents or special relatives can be asked to help. They can light the smaller candles and pass them on to their partners so that they can light the larger one together.
"Thank you for making our ceremony special! It was very emotional and full of beautiful words! I couldn't have asked for better!" R.
