Well, I got the permission so I will share some of the pictures of the blessed event.

This is Trey and Flar beforehand having a man to man talk...they both look a little nervous to me!

:heartthro Semele, you did a great job on this! Thank you! I'm still running around trying to move and work.....stuck at my old house tonight because there's snow coming and I need to be able to work tomorrow.

Thanks for all of the blessings and warm wishes ((((Everyone)))). You're right, I never knew I could be so happy! I spent a lot of time yesterday finding places for our keepsakes. This was a wonderful event and it could not have happened without everyone's help and the true sense of community that came out of all of it. People from all of the pagan groups in our area contributed and were present and everyone had a great time! Here's a pic of the cake and the clay sculpture that a friend made for us:

Flar's Freyja
February 6th, 2003, 12:53 AM
Close-up of the sculpture. Also, I found the cake servers for $1.00 at Wal-Mart. We decorated them with ribbons and little silk flowers that cost around 33 cents.

Me and the person who made it all possible by offering her home and officiating the ceremony:

February 6th, 2003, 01:06 AM
We were so happy that the Site God and Goddess and Prince and Princess could make it! Didn't Semele look beautiful? Many thanks to her mom for taking the pics and the video.

We really did this on a budget, too. Almost everything was handmade, including the broom. On each of the blue ribbons is written a line of the closing blessing of the ritual. That baby was charged when I got finished with it! Another friend played the flute and even found a way to sing the song I wanted in his special style - Metallica's "Nothing Else Matters."

All of the elements and the planets were in alignment, we had Brighid to bless the bride and my feet are still not touching the ground. Flar is definitely everything I could ever want and I love being his soul mate and life partner. :heartthro

Here's the ceremony script:

~A Traditional Cherokee Wedding~
The guests gather in the circle, having entered through the archway and walking clockwise into circle
Bride and Groom’s family/attendants enter the circle first from their respective sides – from the East – The groom's family/attendants from the West
The groom enters one end of the council
house and the bride the other.
The couple then meets in the center
by the altar.
The priestess faces east as does the door
of the council house.

the bride's mother beside her- in this case, Semele, stood in as maid of honor.
She holds the bride's gifts of corn bread
and a blanket. – set the cornbread on the altar, hold the blanket through the ceremony
The groom’s mother stands by him and holds his gift of deer meat and sets it on the altar -
Ring Bearer stands next to maid of honor
The bride's Son stands beside their
mother symbolizing his responsibility to
his sister and her children.
The bride and groom wear blue blankets
representing their old ways and life.

*Intro*

Good evening! We are gathered here today, not to witness the beginning of what will be, but rather what already is! We do not create this union, because we cannot. We can and do, however, celebrate with ______ and __________ and their friends and families the wondrous and joyful occurrence that has already taken place in their lives.

Handfasting is a supreme sharing of experience, and an adventure in the most intimate of human relationships. It is the joyous union of two people whose comradeship and mutual understanding have flowered in romance.
Today ________ and______ proclaim their love and commitment to the universe, and we gather here to rejoice, with and for them, in the new life they now undertake together.

*Begin*

_____________and ___________________ , life is given to each of us as individuals, and yet we must learn to live together. Love is given to us by our family or by our friends. We learn to love by being loved. Learning to love and living together are one of the greatest challenges of life - and is the shared goal of relationship.

*Binding with Scarf*

*Priestess takes the scarf from the altar and hands it to bride's son*

To symbolize their wish to join their lives and hearts as one we use this scarf, representing the binding of their hearts and souls in this lifetime and into eternity.
________ and _______, Is it so your intent to join your lives and hearts together as one, living only for each other? (They both say yes)
---tie scarf---
*Personal Vows*

*AFTER SPEAKING THEIR PERSONAL VOWS, COUPLE GIVE THEIR BLUE BLANKETS TO BRIDESMAID AND BEST MAN

*Vows*
Groom) __________, do you take _____________ to be your Soul Mate and Life Partner?
("I do") Do you promise to love, nurture, value, treasure and protect her, forsaking all others and holding only unto her? ("I do")

(Bride____________, do you take ____________ to be your Soul Mate and Life Partner? ("I do") Do you promise to love, nurture, value, treasure and protect him, forsaking all others and holding only unto him? ("I do")

*Vow/Ring Exchange*

*TREY BRINGS THE BOX OF RINGS TO PRIESTESS AND HOLDS THE BOX WHILE SHE TAKES THE RINGS OUT AND GIVES THEM TO COUPLE

Place the ring on _________'s finger and Repeat after me:
(Groom) I ______, take thee, __________ to be my Soul Mate and Life Partner - to have and to hold, in times of darkness and in times of light and I promise my love to you forevermore.

Place the ring on ____'s finger and Repeat after me:
(Bride) I _____________, take thee _________, to be my Soul Mate and Life Partner, To have and to hold, in times of darkness and in times of light and I promise My love to you forevermore.
(Song)

______and ________, I would ask that where ever you make your home in the future - whether it be a large and elegant home - or a small and graceful one - that you both pick one very special location, so that on each anniversary of this truly wonderful occasion you both may go there and remember this moment and what a true blessing the other is in your life. In every marriage there are times where it is difficult to find the right words.

It is easiest to hurt who we most love. It is easiest to be most hurt by who we most love. It might be difficult some times to say "I am sorry" or "I forgive you"; "I need you" or "I am hurting". If this should happen, if you simply can not find these words, let this place and your presence there stand for the words you cannot find and proclaim your love and commitment to each other, forgetting past hurts and promising an open heart.

_______ and ______, if there is anything you remember of this handfasting ceremony, it is that it was love that brought you here today, it is only love which can make it a glorious union, and it is by love which your relationship shall endure."


MAID OF HONOR - A white blanket is placed around the shoulders of the couple symbolizing their union. –

Then each drink a corn drink from the chalice/wedding vase
They drink from east to west then
from north to south giving their
blessings and respect to the earth
and all her creatures
The bride then holds the basket of bread, the groom the basket of meat and those in attendance take a piece of bread and meat as a sign of their approval.

*Couple returns to altar*

*Closing*

________________ and ____________________, in so much as the two of you have agreed to live together in Sacred Union, have promised your love for each other by these vows, the joining of your hands and the giving of these rings, I now declare you to be Soulmates and Life Partners, your hearts joined through eternity.

May the sun bring you the new energies by day,
May the moon softly restore you by night,
And the breeze blow new strength into your being,
And then, all the days of your life,
May you walk
Gently through the world and know its beauty
Now you will feel no rain,
For each of you will be shelter for the other.
Now you will feel no cold,
For each of you will be warmth to the other.
Now there is no more loneliness,
Now you are two persons.
But there is only one life before you,
Go now to your dwelling,
To enter into your life together,
And may your days be good and long upon the earth.
So Mote It Be


Congratulations, _______, you may kiss your bride.

**TURN AROUND!!!**
It is my privilege to announce the sacred union of Flar7 and Freyja!

*Broom Jumping*

It is a tradition in some cultures to jump over a broom to signify the leap into sacred union and the couple has asked to do this.

*Announcements*

Flar's Freyja
February 6th, 2003, 01:21 AM
You are my Earth
Solid ground beneath my feet
The nourishment and abundance of the Mother

You are my Air
You teach me to breathe, to live
And lift my spirit to the sky

You are my Fire
You move, inspire and warm me
You find lost smiles amid the tears

You are my Water
My refuge and my sacred space
You cleanse, heal and transform me

You are my Spirit
Your light and your strength
Make me wise, grateful and whole

When darkness falls
I will be your Earth
I will not leave and
I will give of myself to you
I will be your Air
I can breathe and laugh for
Both of us
I will be your Fire
I will wrap you in my arms
I will warm and comfort you
I will be your Water
I will carry you through the
Ebb and Flow of our life

These things I offer you until
The day we fly together
On the wings of the Eagle

My heart has waited a
Lifetime for you
And it is yours into eternity.

So Mote It Be

Oh Freyja!! I'll kick your butt for making me cry twice!!

Joanne, I stand here today and declare my love for you.
I promise you that I will strive to make you happy with
All I have, take your burdens and make them mine, and
To live and love with you all our days.
I hope to be able to return the vast love that you
Have given and shown me, but more importantly, to
Reaffirm your hopes, just as you have reaffirmed mine.
I thank God for bringing me to you and for
Finding a light in all the darkness that I found myself
In. You have saved me, and I promise to be there
For you and to be a friend as well as your husband.

Before God, and our family and friends I promise these things.

BTW, when the seamstress said that the dress would flatter any figure, she wasn't kidding. I have my self-conscious areas and none of them were visible! Here's the link to her again:

This one's kinda dark.....it was hilarious, they left me in the bedroom where I was supposed to be hiding from Flar so he wouldn't see me in the dress and no one told me when I should come out, finally he hollered to me that he thought everyone was waiting, so this is us walking out of the house together to walk to Circle.

Thanks ((((Everyone)))) I never felt this happy at any time during my first marriage - that should have been a tip off! A friend recently wrote and told me that she felt incredible energy during ritual and feels that Flar and I have been together for many lifetimes.

:( Nope, it's not there and we're out of film. We didn't have Trey use it - :lol: which was a good thing 'cause he dropped the box, too......one of the most special things about our handfasting was that just about everything was handcrafted with love and energies from everyone. It could not have been more perfect if Brighid had appeared in the flesh..........

Wasn't about to jump into that sand in those little pumps - I may have sunk or slid right into the crowd :T

I didn't get to really check out his hair before the ceremony or I'd have whacked him with a comb and some hairspray.....

Did I tell you that Flar's mom and her friend made the bouquet and the headpiece? They work in a flower shop. I'm drying both of them, I think they're going to dry very nicely!

:eek: Everyone send protective energy to Flar - and this isn't his fault - one of the guys wants to cancel their live RPG - because he wants to stay home and play NeverWinter Nights!!!!!!

I'd much rather see them continue to have their live one in addition to this than to have them just do this online!

Depending on the moon cycle, so far his live game has worked out well about 90% of the time, as I can usually attend a pagan event or activity while he plays with the guys. And I do like his friends and don't want them to stop coming over!

You are my Earth
Solid ground beneath my feet
The nourishment and abundance of the Mother

You are my Air
You teach me to breathe, to live
And lift my spirit to the sky

You are my Fire
You move, inspire and warm me
You find lost smiles amid the tears

You are my Water
My refuge and my sacred space
You cleanse, heal and transform me

You are my Spirit
Your light and your strength
Make me wise, grateful and whole

When darkness falls
I will be your Earth
I will not leave and
I will give of myself to you
I will be your Air
I can breathe and laugh for
Both of us
I will be your Fire
I will wrap you in my arms
I will warm and comfort you
I will be your Water
I will carry you through the
Ebb and Flow of our life

These things I offer you until
The day we fly together
On the wings of the Eagle

My heart has waited a
Lifetime for you
And it is yours into eternity.

Joanne, I stand here today and declare my love for you.
I promise you that I will strive to make you happy with
All I have, take your burdens and make them mine, and
To live and love with you all our days.
I hope to be able to return the vast love that you
Have given and shown me, but more importantly, to
Reaffirm your hopes, just as you have reaffirmed mine.
I thank God for bringing me to you and for
Finding a light in all the darkness that I found myself
In. You have saved me, and I promise to be there
For you and to be a friend as well as your husband.

Before God, and our family and friends I promise these things.
