You may have recently just got engaged, or you have been for a while or you might just be searching through this sort of thing just out of pure interest. If you are engaged, then Congratulations! And I'd like to take the time to say with a hand on my Heart, Good Luck!
Good Luck, not only in a successful happy marriage, but in preparing for one of the biggest days of your lives! As this is a time that should be cherished in future as a very fond memory...
Now, this blog has been created for all of those people out there who may be interested in the idea of having a traditional Hand Fasting as a part of their Wedding. Or you might just want a little mooch around to understand what it's all about. So, this isn't just aimed at the happy couple, but to their family, friends and potential guests who might not have any knowledge of what this type of Ceremony can be like.
I've also decided to write this (or rather TYPE this, he-he) because I too am having a Hand Fasting as my Wedding Ceremony. And believe me, even though I have loved nearly every aspect of planning our BIG day, it can still be stressful at times and quite daunting; especially when you have that long list of 'What to do's' in front of you. Not only that, but I think many people that I wanted to invite to the ceremony and reception didn't quite get the jist of what we had decided to do for our Wedding.
So, here is a bit of a list (you'll learn that I adore my lists) of all the things I'm going to talk about on my blog:
1.) Introduction to your Guide- which is this bit that you've already been reading
2.) What is a Hand Fasting- explains what it is in full detail, who might want to do it and why
3.) History of Tying the Knot- where Hand Fasting originates
4.) Choosing which Rite is Right for you- the various ways you can have a Hand Fasting
5.) Organizing your Big Day- Helpful tips
6.) Recommendations- Resources that helped me, which could help you.
7.) Hazards of a Hand Fasting- Learn from my mistakes
8.) Your RIGHT to do a RITE- Confidence boosting, stand your ground etc.
9.) My Hand Fasting- Just as an example
10.) Bright Blessings- A good bye and good luck message.
And there you have it, my first blog and some insight into what I'm hopefully going to help somebody out there along with. Even if it's just educating someone, I'll be glad that it's full filled its purpose.
Until next time....
