Handfasting - An event dating back right to antiquity, Handfasting is a tradition of marriage before the accessibility of rings and rare-earth elements.

It is from this custom we still refer to marriage as "tying the knot".
Oathing Stone -- Just what better location to put the pledges of a life time and also eternity than in the heart of a stone? The oathing stone is held by the couple while their vows are stated, after that in some customs is tossed right into a deep body of water to hold those promises for evermore. Today that stone may be kept as a remembrance of this special day.

King James of Scotland provided his betrothed Anne of Denmark a Quaich as a symbol of his love for her during the marriage, From that point on the Quaich has actually been called the "loving cup".
