Handfasting Photos from Our Readers

By , About.com Guide

More and more Pagans and Wiccans are turning to handfasting rituals, rather than traditional weddings. In some cases, it may be simply ceremonial -- a couple declaring their love for one another without the benefit of a state license. For other couples, it can be tied in with a state marriage certification issued by a legally authorized party such as a clergyperson or justice of the peace. Either way, it's becoming more and more popular, as Pagan and Wiccan couples are seeing that there is indeed an alternative for non-Christians who want more than just a courthouse wedding. This gallery includes photos from our readers who have sent in pictures of their Pagan or Wiccan handfasting ceremony.
