A Wiccan wedding

Why would you want to go?

"Hand fasting"???!!!

Why are you scared of doing something wrong, chocolate pudding?

Baaad spells....!

What a fabulous experience. I am sure you will not be the only ones that are not familiar with the occasion. This website may help with some of the ceremony

Sounds interesting. Have fun. Just check what to wear

Why wouldn't you want to go? If friends or relatives are getting married, and they happen to be Wiccan, of course you would want to be there!

Don't worry, chocolatepudding, about making mistakes. Wiccan ceremonies are usually very informal and there is rarely any expectation of "doing the right thing.". As long as you are loving and respectful, you'll be fine. A handfasting, or marriage ceremony, will usually involve an exchange of vows, a toast to the God and the Goddess and to the happy couple, and nearly always lots of flowers, food and wine! There may be a symbolic action, such as jumping over a broomstick or a small fire, though not always.

Have a lovely time. I'm sure you'll enjoy it.

Will they be actually married after that? Or will there have to be a quick trip to the Registrar's Office?

Lets all have a jig

How interesting, I would love to be invited to a Wican wedding. Pippa000 the vows are lovely on the link you gave. They are so honest and realistic.

chocolatepudding make sure you sit where you can see it all and then you can tell us all about it!

* Wicca not Wican - sorry

Wiccan even - Doh!

Surprised you haven't been invited Jingle, sure there will be plenty of parking for your broom! Sounds 'different' go and enjoy yourself. Bluecat has explained it well and it sounds fun. Don't have some wine and join in the fire jumping in case you set fire to your knickers !

Always supposing she wears them

Firstly I am looking forward to this wedding enormously - this couple are very good friends of ours. I never said that I didn't want to go, I just wondered if anyone else had been to one.

Thank you Pippa000 and merlotgran for the websites. I am sure it will be a lovely day for everyone.

We are having a Wicca wedding ....registry office first. At the chalice well Glastonbury...will be lovely

Gosh it sounds absolutely brilliant Bella. I would love to go to one of those. Did they have Wicca weddings in the 1960s.? I might have had one if there were.

How lovely I'd love to experience it for myself.. have fun.

At first I read it as wicker wedding and I was wondering which anniversary is wicker

Sounds good, friend's son had a Viking wedding in Nottingham, I couldn't make it, regrettably.

I'm not really 'into' weddings. Marriage, yes. Weddings, not so much. And the more faddish they are the less I'm keen on them.

My cousin's daughter had a Wiccan 'celebration' a few years ago. It was held in the garden of a lovely country house with the sun shining down. She wore a green wedding dress and green veil and arrived in the circle of friends and rellies via an arch of greenery. We all had to turn to the north, east south and west and 'pray' to the appropriate gods. I think a broomstick was involved at some point and the couple drank mead and also ate a concoction of sweetmeats! I did get a little confused, as did my nonagenarian aunt and the 'bride's mother, Aunt and I did get a fit of the giggles at one point. An 'alternative' folk group played during the day. It was a lovely family get together, if different - but I still don't think they are actually married, in the legal sense, but if that's what floats your boat.........

I am not a withch. Thank you very much.
