The wedding is amazing. It’s tasteful and there are Viking traditions woven throughout the decor.

When Bill takes his place at the altar, he seeks me out and grins when he spots me, making me happy.

The bride, who I haven’t met yet, looks beautiful. Her song choices tells me we are going to be friends. The groom looks like he is the luckiest man in the world.

Then Bill starts the ceremony and I am enraptured. His rich baritone voice washes over me.

“You two ready?” Bill asks. Tabby nods, while Loki responds with a yes.

"Excellent. Dearly beloved we are gathered here today to celebrate the joining of Loki and Tabitha in Holy Matrimony. If there is anyone present who feels this union should not take place, speak now or forever hold your peace.” No one speaks and he continues.

“Loki and Tabitha have chosen to do a traditional Norse handfasting ceremony. I am honored to bestow the ancient blessings of our ancestors on my brother and his beloved. This will consecrate your love on a spiritual level. Please interlace your hands together,” he says producing a very frayed piece of rope.

“This rope has been in our family for generations. All marriages in this family for the last one hundred years have used this rope, except one,” he says.

I wonder what that could possibly mean. Who wouldn’t do that?

“Look into each other's eyes and remember all you have experienced together, both the highs and the lows. Think of the joys to come as well. Henceforth, you will be united in partnership ready to support each other through both the joys and the sorrows. It's now time to fasten your hands together in a deep seated tradition. This act symbolizes your commitment to your union.” Bill places the rope around their hands several times.

“Just as your hands are bound before us now, so too will your lives become. While this rope will soon be unwrapped, your spirits will forever be joined in unity from this moment forward. Let us acknowledge this special bond you share, and may your relationship be blessed with joy and happiness.” He pauses for dramatic effect before removing the rope and clearing his throat.

“As the Bible reminds us in Corinthians, If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing. Truer words have never been written. Loki and Tabitha have also written their own vows. Loki?”

The couple say their vows and though I don’t know them yet, my eyes are reduced to tearing up. The vows are beautiful.

They are pronounced man and wife in no time at all. You can feel the love emanating from them with their kiss. I stand and clap with everyone else.

The entire ceremony, Bill never took his eyes off of me and I loved every single second. His gaze is like the softest caress as it is working me up. It’s so very wrong and naughty to get wet in church right? Oops.
