[About Handfasting]
Handfasting is the ancient Celtic practice of binding a couple's hands in a ceremony that expresses their commitment to each other. It was originally believed to forge a bond that would last through this life and the next! Whatever your philosophy - whether you choose a humanist ceremony, a church wedding, or something else altogether for your special day - handfasting is a powerful symbol of enduring commitment.

[About Ceotha]
Based just outside the village of Roslin, Scotland - but shipping worldwide - I specialise in designing and crafting artisanal handfasting cords which reflect the couple's relationship and their unique celebration of love. The signature of my designs are Celtic knots which draw together the symbolism of handfasting, the care I take to make each cord perfect, and - most importantly - your love for one another.
