…Some of the many Beautiful Rituals and Symbols you can use in your Wedding Ceremony…
Around the world in every culture, there are many beautiful rituals, that you can in a Civil Ceremony incorporate in your Wedding Ceremony. One of the oldest known wedding traditions, is from Celtic History, an Ancient Handfastening Ceremony, and is now again popular in the world today, as we seek some of the older traditions and values, whether your roots are Celtic or not. Handfastening is a symbolic union in a wedding ceremony. One or more ropes are tied around the couples’ wrists as a symbol of the two individual people, now becoming one! The colour white representing purity, blue for fidelity, and red for passion. You may choose to use other colours, green for fertility and growth, purple for spiritual strength, and gold for wisdom. You can then speak the virtue to your love within the safety of your circle of family and friends.
A Sand Ceremony, is a unifying ceremony, acknowledging the coming together of two people, two families as one united and powerful. Each person involved in the ceremony, pouring their chosen coloured sand, into a clear single container. Creating a beautiful rainbow layered effect, a keepsake for the future, each colour representing what that person feels is most important to them in a marriage. Yellow for example represents, harmony and balance in life’s journey with a true friend by your side. Symbolising the families life-long commitment and the joining of the two lives, incorporating parents and special family members, particularly beautiful for blending families.
The Unity Candle, represents the essence of love, it gives the feeling of warmth and safety, a light to brighten your way in dark times, a feeling of joy as you feel for your spouse on this wedding day. Together, entering into the unknown future. Three candles are required, one from each family. The couple light the centre candle, each from the other two candles, individually bring their own light to the central candle. The three will remain lit, throughout the ceremony. One candle for each spouse and one for the unity of their new family. A symbolic and profound commitment to each other and to their love as each person honours the marriage union.
If this is your second marriage, this beautiful Ceremony is unifying for any children to the marriage, they can also help to light a candle and feel the love and sense of belonging of their new family unit.
A Rose Ceremony, for the Mothers of the Marrying Couple - a beautiful gesture to honour the Mothers the givers of life and love, or other family members during the Wedding Ceremony. The Bride and Groom can each bestow their gratitude and love in this sacred circle of love with family and friends, to their Mothers on their Wedding Day!
A Rose or Flower Ceremony, allows the bride and groom a way for them to show gratitude for the love bestowed upon them to each other in memory of their wedding day and in front of their circle of love, their family and friends.
In Croatia each wedding guest receives a single branch of rosemary which is pinned to their left side as corsages. The rosemary may be quite often decorated with a red-white-blue ribbon that symbolic of the Croatian flag.
