Rituals

Rituals, the terrible name for something really nice. Rituals are the act of performing a ceremony that may result in a physical keepsake from the day for example a hand fasting ceremony where you will keep the knot tied. You may also have a ceremony included that the act symbolises, like a butterfly release symbolising love, hope, and beauty.

What sort of rituals are there?

Sand pouring- Pouring together of different sands to symbolise the granules never possibly being able to be separated into their individual origins again. 

Hand- Fasting- The tying together of hands with a rope or ribbon

Unity Candle lighting- 

Candle-lighting is quite common as a symbolic act of blending and binding. Whilst this ceremony can take many forms, it’s common that the couple light individual small candles and together light a larger center candle as a symbolic act of their union.

Things to consider in regard to rituals-
