Fisherman's Knot

kmp1725 · January 2012

My FH and I want to do something different then Sand or Unity Candle Ceremony. I saw on Pinterest a couple do the fisherman's knot. We have decided this is what we want, but I need some help with the wording.

I would love any and all suggestions. Thanks:)

TYING OF UNITY "LOVE KNOT"
(officiant asks the mothers for the cords.)
"May we now have the cords."
(grooms's mother stands and hands him a cord. She returns to her seat.)
(bride's mother stands and hands her a cord. She returns to her seat.)
(officiant prompts the tying of the knot.)
"Groom and Bride, these two lengths of cord represent your separate families and individual lives before today. I ask that you each take one piece, and that together you bind them in a true lovers' knot. Tying this knot signifies that your two families and your two lives are now and forever bound together as one.
(Groom and Bride tie the knot!)
(Officiant summons knot bearer to retrieve the knot.)
(Knot bearer comes up and Groom and Bride place knot in box.)
(Knot bearer closes box and returns to his seat.)

My future mr. is a commercial fisherman here in MD so I think we will be doing this fisherman's knot. It will be a great way to incorporate a piece of him right into out ceremony If you want to find a video just YouTube search "triple fishermans knot" and watch the 3 min first video.
