Handfasting at St Nectan’s Glen

The term “handfasting” or “hand-fasting” is used to “formally promise, to make a contract” especially in the context of marriage and is the ancient nature-related marriage ceremony with a spiritual tradition, quickly becoming the choice amongst modern couples; it involves a couple’s hands being placed together and bound by a ribbon or cord symbolising and confirming their union of love, acceptance and commitment to each other.
