At Marry Me Moments, we specialize in handfasting ceremonies that honor your love story—whether as a standalone spiritual ritual or as part of a more traditional wedding script.

✨ What Is a Handfasting Ceremony?

Handfasting is a symbolic act where a couple’s hands are bound together with cords or ribbons, representing the binding of their lives and intentions. Rooted in Celtic tradition, this ritual has found new life among couples who want a sacred, visual, and interactive element in their ceremony.

• Represents unity, trust, and eternal commitment.

• Ideal for nature lovers, spiritual couples, and those seeking a meaningful alternative to standard vows.

• Can be customized in style, wording, and participation.

🧵 Customize Your Cord Ritual

One of the most beautiful aspects of handfasting is the flexibility in how it’s performed. The number of cords used can directly influence the ceremony wording and symbolism:

• One Cord: A simple, elegant symbol of unity.

• Three Cords: Represents past, present, and future—or values like love, trust, and respect.

• More Cords: Can reflect different elements of your relationship or even involve guests.

We create personalized scripts that reflect your chosen cord count, ensuring the ritual aligns with your intentions and beliefs.

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Invite Family to Participate

Want to make it a moment of collective love? Handfasting is a perfect way to include loved ones in your ceremony.

• Family members or friends can each lay a cord over your hands as part of the ritual.

• Each cord can represent a blessing, value, or wish from those closest to you.

• Creates an emotional and interactive ceremony that guests remember forever.
