Bob and Sara chose to honor their Irish heritage with a handfasting ceremony. Handfasting is an ancient Irish wedding tradition that has come to be interpreted literally, as the symbolic act of “tying the knot.”

In ancient Ireland, two people who chose to be married were brought together,  and faced each other. With arms extended, they clasped hands and a braided chord or ribbon was wrapped and tied around their hands.

The Officiant would complete the ceremony and pronounced them married.
