Handfasting Ritual

This wedding ritual, believed to be of Celtic origin, involves binding the bride and groom’s hands together with a cord or ribbon as they recite their vows.  The cord is wrapped in the form of an infinity symbol, representing their never-ending love and devotion to one another, and then tied in a knot, which demonstrates the unification of two individuals into one loving entity.

Arras or Coin Ceremony

This Mexican tradition is the perfect way to add a cultural touch to your destination wedding.  In this traditional ceremony, thirteen arras, silver or gold coins, are passed from the groom’s hands to the bride in a symbolic promise that he will take care of her financially; the bride then returns the arras to show her commitment to their joint finances.

Lasso (Laso) Ceremony

Much like the Handfasting ritual, the lasso is a Mexican tradition that utilizes a ceremonial rope, beaded or made of fabric, which is placed over the bride and groom’s shoulders in the form of the infinity symbol.  This symbolic gesture represents their eternal commitment to one another and their love that will last for eternity.
