 It is now possible to be legally married through a true pagan handfasting! I am an ordained minister, and as such, by the laws of the state of Tennessee, the handfastings performed by me are as legal as any other religious nuptial ceremony conducted by a Pastor or Minister. I am also a High Priestess and therefore may preside over your handfasting. You are responsible for obtaining your own license, and making your own arrangements concerning place and time, decorations, invitations and the like. Then what do YOU do, you may ask. I attend, as a legal and spiritual representative, to officiate and preside over your nuptial handfasting. I can, by law, legally sign your license, thereby completing the legalities concerning your marital state. I have several handfasting rites from which you may choose, or if you prefer, I will perform a handfasting of your own devising. I will, of course, need to have the rite emailed or snail mailed to me in a timely manner. Why do You call it a "donation" if it's a payment for a service? Donations made in exchange for Lady Elswet's service are not payment for services rendered. They are donations made freely by those who wish to enjoy the benefits of having an experienced High Priestess conduct their beautiful spiritual sacrement. These donations are used to keep ELSWET.COM and all its affiliates online and FREE, and are therefore not payments, but donations, as stated. And thank you so much, for your interest in our Covenstead. Can I just be handfasted? Of course. I have only three requirements which are noted in the link to your left labelled "Spiritual Requirements." Can I just be married? Yes. That, too is an option. To find out the legalities, please click the "Legal Requirements" link to the left. Where will my handfasting/wedding take place? That is your choice. Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg both have banquet and conference rooms in all the finer hotels. You may prefer to have your nuptials performed in the Great Smoky Mountain National Park, at Cataract Falls, or in a field of daisies in Cades Cove [season permitting]. A camping space is usually the preferred choice; however, there exist many historical locations where your rite may be performed. I strongly suggest a trip to Sevier County, to meet me, choose your spot, and obtain your license, well in advance of your actual wedding/handfasting trip. You will be glad you did. Please note that I DO have a wedding planner who will help you plan your wedding arrangements [including lodging, flowers, wedding cake, reception, and photography]. Is it necessary to get a license? Yes, if you want your handfasting to be a legally binding union. If you choose to handfast only, that is done without a license as it is a spiritual union, not a legal one. Please note that I do NOT perform handpartings except for members of My own coven/congregation. Do you have any further questions? Contact Lady Guen! This is private and goes straight to My personal email. I will give you a personal response as soon as possible. |
