On September 8th, I performed my first handfasting and marriage as a marriage commissioner.
( Pictures behind the cut )
The ritual went quite well, all things considered. No major hitches, aside from an incense charcoal that wouldn't light properly; once it got going, though, the clouds of fragrant frankincense smoke could be smelled throughout the hall. The couple were very pleased with the rite, and have promised to get me a copy of the videotape on CD.
Here is the script of the handfasting.

The next handfasting I officiate is on September 30th (assuming that I don't end up in hospital as a result of the sigmoidoscopy on September 18th).
