My FI and I have decided to not to the unity candle or unity sand things, but I kind of want something to show the same basic concept (two become one) is a unique way. I came across a brief description of hand fasting in a magaizine, but it didn't give a whole lot of information. All it said was that the hands of the couple were wrapped in a ribbon or something and that it came from an ancient Celtic tradition possibly. Does anyone have anymore information about this tradition?
