Hand fasting

Today the handfasting is more literal: a couple will bind their hands together during the wedding ceremony (before, during, or after reciting their vows), often to symbolize their connection and devotion to one another. 

HOW DO YOU INCLUDE A HANDFASTING IN YOUR WEDDING?

There are different methods for determining what kind of cord to use and what it will look like. Sometimes a couple faces one another and binds both pairs of hands, sometimes only right hands are bound, and still others a right hand will be bound to a left.
