handfasting

Stuart Beauchamp, 49, and his wife Anna Stevens, 44, took part in a handfasting ceremony, where their wrists were tied together to declare their commitment.

Kennealy practiced Celtic paganism, and in 1970, she and Morrison wed via a "handfasting ceremony" involving drops of blood.

In 1970, the rocker and journalist exchanged vows in what was called a "handfasting ceremony," which included drops of their own blood.

As a believer in Celtic witchcraft, for Patricia, the handfasting ceremony with Morrison was spiritually binding.

They did this through a handfasting, which is a Celtic tradition where the couple join their hands with ribbons to symbolize the binding of two lives.
