My side of the family is of Irish descent, and I was trying to find something to incorporate into our ceremony that was unique to the Irish culture. I don't know if my google sources are true or not, but I saw that handfasting might be a possible option. Then I saw on another post here that it is closely related to the Pagan/Wicca religion, which we are not at all. I don't want to give the wrong impression during the ceremony- (my mother is Christian and my FI's mother's side is UU, his father's side is partially Catholic). Fi and myself are not of any one religion. So I guess my question is, is there any Irish ceremony ideas that would be better than handfasting, or would there be a way to incorporate handfasting without making it seem like we are now Wicca/Pagan? I was thinking more about representing the Irish culture in my family, not the religion part.
