As far as Miss Lima suggested us to make a description of a wedding celebration, I decided to describe a different kind of wedding. I will to talk about a Wiccan wedding, that is, a wedding celebration of an old religion, which is still followed by many people around the world.
This is a ritual of compromising based on a spiritual liaison, it is not legal.
Before the ceremony the whole place, where it will be realized should be consecrated with salt, water and any kind of purifying incense.
The high priestess traces a circle with a sword around all the guests and blesses all of them with sacred words and then a bell is rung.
The bride and the groom enter the circle with tied hands. They keep in front of the altar and the guests keep in the perimeter of the circle shaking their.
So the priestess says: “In this sacred circle of Light we get together in perfect love and perfect truth, Oh Goddess of divine love, I beg thou to bless this couple and their love and their marriage for the whole time they live together. Give them a healthful life full of joy, love, stability and fertility.”
So the priestess takes a plate with salt or earth for they to put their right hands over it while she says: “Blessed be by the old and mystic element earth, Oh Goddess of Love on all thy glory give them love, tenderness, happiness and compassion for all the time they live together.
The priestess puts the plate on the altar and the couple turns to the East. She rings the bell three times and burn next to them the incense and says: “Blessed be by the smoke and for the bell, symbols of the old and mystic element air.” She puts the incense on the altar and the couple turn to South. Each of them takes a candle with their right hand. The candles are lighted up and the High priestess takes a cane and says: “ Blessed be by the cane and the flame, symbols of the old and mystic element fire. May Goddess on thy love and all thy glory give them harmony, vitality, creativity and passion for all the time they both live".
The couple turn to West. The priestess takes the calyx with water and drops it over them saying: “Blessed be by the old and mystic element water. May Goddess on all thy love and glory bless them with friendship, kindness and the comprehension for all the time they live together.”
The Priestess anoints their forehead with rose oil and holds a quartz over them as a symbol of the spiritual reign as she says: May Goddess of love on all thy glory bless them with the union, honesty and spiritual development for all their lives and the magician of their love keep growing during all the time they live together, because their wedding is a sacred union of the feminine and the masculine of the Divinity.”
The priestess puts the crystal on the altar and consecrated the wedding rings with salt and water, as she says: “For the salt and the water I purify and clean this beautiful symbols of love. I beg all the negatives vibes, impurities and obstacles be taken away from here and everything is good, kind and positive get in. Blessed be this wedding rings under the divine name of the Goddess. So be it!"
The groom puts the ring on bride’s finger and so she does the same. They say their promises and the priestess consecrates a white strings. So the couple hold it side by side and make a knot on it while they express their love for each other. The priestess says: “By this knots in this string be your love joined.” So she tied their hands with the strings. So all the guests sing: “Love! Love! Love!”
So everyone keeps quiet for a while and the priestess untie their hands and says: "By the Goddess’s power and the power of her spouse I declare you husband and wife during all the time you both live. May you live always together in love. So be it.”
The guests, the couple and the priestess thank the Goddess and the God and the priestess undo the circle.
A broom is put horizontally on the ground and couple jump over it together. So all drink wine and eat a special cake cut with the sword of the ceremony.
