Scottish vibe with Handfasting

Charlotte, 3 May, 2022 at 19:46 Posted on Planning 0 12
After some people's views, has anyone ever had a handfasting at their wedding or due to be married with/by handfasting? My H2B is Scottish, lives in North East, he lost his dad a few year ago and I'm wanting to try and bring as much Scottish theme in as possible as a surprise for my H2B. Songs are already set, Cannon D by pipes, Highland cathedral etc. Anything I'm missing or that I could add? Thank you!!!

    Yeah I've ordered my sash so I'm trying to get a pin, I have Scottish background also, but he's more into it all because of his dad. I'm having thistle in my bouquet, and I'm looking for a Scottish flag to drape over our table where the cake will be. So fingers crossed. I'm just nervous about the handfasting, but I know he'll love it. Xx

    Yeah he definitely will. Only my parents and his mum knows about the little surprises to really bring in the Scottish vibe, so his family and sisters don't know either, they will love it. I just can't believe I'm still planning two months before I'm due to get married. Is this normal? X

    Charlotte - I saw from your profile that you are getting married on the same day as us and I’ve still got to buy my wedding ring! Not decided on all the songs yet or who will do a reading so we still have stuff to do! Don’t worry it will all come together!

    Ah thanks, I think I am doing ok so far! We are having the ceremony at 2pm, the reception and evening is all in the same place. Getting very real now! Few more jobs to do but our venue are very relaxed about the whole thing lol. We have only paid a £500 deposit and its in 11 weeks time. We are having menu tasting in a couple of weeks so hopefully we are nearly there.

    Good luck with Scottish twists!

    I'm sure you will be doing great. I'm a stress head so it's probably "normal" haha. We have our ceremony at 3pm then photos u no, our reception is in a different place but together.
    My nerves are kicking in now. Our venue is very calm too, I guess it's cause they're used it to all, it's reassuring at least.
    11 weeks, Can't believe how fast all this going.....Aw that sounds like alot of fun. I know we still have to give our notice, nearest appointment was June!Enjoy the rest of your planning xxx
