1. The Hipforums announces it first ever fundraiser. After nearly 30 years online, we must ask our members and guests to help support the website. Thanks to years of ongoing financial support of our members, advertisers and volunteer admin staff, we have been able to keep the forums alive.

    Now we must ask for help as available funds have all been used for our Internet server and other fees.

    So please donate any amount to our PayPal account donate@Hipforum.com to keep the site going. If we can get enough for a few months fees, we won't need to nag you again!

    My girlfriend and I are planning on having 2 wedings. One for the family(christian). And a handfasting ceremony with a friend of ours that owns a witch/occult shop.

    I would love to incorporate it somehow into the main wedding. I think that would be awesome.

    what i was thinking was just a simple tying of a ribbon around our hands... around this area ppl put lassos on each other (this is from mexican heritage i think).. i think in greek families they do crowns with ribbons attatching the two... we have celtic ancestors so yeah... ribbons on the hands. i like it.

    she just moved on

    KC I tell you one option we didn't include in the poll, that of performing a handfasting, which I will be doing next year for the couple who did a fairy wedding, they had a tradional marriage but wish to renew their vows in the pagan way!

    I had a kind of traditional wedding (no Christian stuff though), and included a hand-fasting. And a Native American Prayer.

    Necroposted. I plan to have a non-denominational wedding with my lover someday. I haven't really gone into my wide range of beliefs with him, especially the paganism part. I still want to have a pagan aspect to the wedding.
