Michelle and Stuart chose to have their hands bound by a unity cord of three plaited ribbons, and a ‘Blessing of the Hands’ for the handfasting element they included in their wedding ceremony
♥️💙🤍
Blessing of the Hands
These are the hands of your best friend, supportive and strong and full of love for you, that are holding yours on your wedding day, as you promise to love each other today, tomorrow, and forever.
These are the hands that will work alongside yours, as together you build your future together.
These are the hands that will passionately love you and cherish you and comfort you like no other.
These are the hands that will hold you when you have nightmares or when fear or grief fills your mind.
These are the hands that will wipe the tears from your eyes every time;
These are the hands that will affectionately hold your children and protect your family as one.
These are the hands that will give you strength and encouragement whenever you need it.
And lastly, these are the hands that even when wrinkled, will still be reaching for yours as they are in this very moment.
💙♥️🤍
Very beautiful and meaningful words, don’t you agree
♥️♥️♥️
