About Me

I createdHandfastings.orgto help link people in the Pagan and Wiccan communities with ordained officiants who perform Wedding Ceremonies, Vow Renewal ceremonies, Wiccanings, Baby Namings, Commitment Ceremonies, and other Rites of Passage and celebrations.Allie (my hubby) and I had an awesome Wiccan wedding and I hope that those who wish to get married in an unconventional way have as much luck and spirit that we had for ours!
