Symbolism :
Handfasting is an ancient European ceremony of (temporary or permanent) betrothal or wedding that dates
back to pre-Medieval times and usually involves the tying or binding of the hands of the bride and
groom with a cord or ribbon. Such ceremonies are widely practised in the Wiccan religion. The
term is derived from the verb to handfast , used in Middle to Early Modern English for the making
of a contract of marriage. The term is originally from Old Norse hand-festa "to strike a bargain by joining
hands". Read the fascinating history behind the Handfasting Rings in the free Encyclopedia, Wikipedia.
