Handfasting and Weddings

Handfasting is the tradition of "engagement" for a-year-and-a-day. It is a promise and a joining together that displays a couple's decision to live their lives together in a committed relationship. At the end of the year-and-a-day handfasting (approximately 90 days IRL), a couple decides if they wish to be wed. Couples will be eligible for several different wedding packages at the end of their handfasting. (Under certain circumstances, senior staff may allow a couple to forgo the handfasting requirement for GM-assisted weddings).

Handfasting couples will be provided with verbed rings designed by the couple (look, tap, and read), the ability to locate each other through the rings, and special verbs for interactions between the handfasted couple. These couples will also be qualified for a GM-assisted wedding package.

Couples will be responsible for handfasting ceremonies. They may enlist the aid of clerics and choose sites for themselves. Certain areas have been set-aside for these romantic purposes and include food and drink in reception-like areas. Couples may also order additional items (clothing, ceremonial props, etc.) under the regular fundraiser guidelines. The cost of handfasting is $10.00. Handfasting is not a requirement for all wedding packages.
