Handfastings
A handfasting is becoming increasingly popular with modern couples. The ceremony involves a couple's hands being placed together and bound with ribbon or cord (hence the phrase "tying the knot") and the ritual is often performed at celebrant-led services. A handfasting traditionally lasts for a year and a day.

Jennifer Constant, founder of The Celebrant Directory, sums up what a celebrant is by telling Wedding Ideas magazine: “Simply put a celebrant is a person who performs and officiates formal ceremonies, and whilst commonly seen at weddings they can also conduct other services like renewals, baby naming and funeral rites. The beauty of what celebrants offer is the sheer versatility to help couples create tailored, unique ceremonies that reflect their personalities and love for each other.”
