A Binding of Vampyr Souls (Wedding - Handfasting) By Rev Samilyn And Rev. JP Vanir:

[FatherJP ChrstVampyr]

This night, we stand between ------ and ------- We do this to represent the unity of both to commit the ultimate act of Unity. This is the moment between ------- and ------. (Recommend that this ceremony be performed at either sunset). If within this moment you should find doubt in your heart, or if any present should know of any reason these two should not wed, I beg of you to say so now (pause).
As they take of one another, ponder now the unity of there love and devotion. There cannot be one without the other. There is no beauty within the world without them both.
For this is blessed union. (During this part, preparations should be being made by Husband and Wife to be for the "drawing" however that should occur or pouring the wine, etc. due to preference of the couple).

WIFE (to husband):

Before you enter into this bond of blood, this marriage; to ------- be wise that you do not enter lightly. That which is bound by blood is not easily broken.
Husband offers to future wife his blood (in chosen manner) and recites:
Take of me and be mine..
As I so long to be yours..
Stay with me through this journey…
Be the Beauty that never leaves me…
For I do so love you..
When offering is accepted Husband lights one black candle before him…



Husband (Speaking to Wife):


Before you enter into this bond of blood, of this marriage to husband, be wise that you do not enter lightly for that which is bound by blood is not easily broken.

Wife offers to future husband her blood (in chosen manner) and recites the following:
Take of me and be mine..
As I so long to be yours..
Stay with me through this journey…
Be the Beauty that never leaves me…
For I do so love you..
(*Of course these can be altered if the couple has anything to add of their own or replaced although the candle bit is nice for symbolism) When offering is accepted wife lights the black candle before there is nothing more sacred than these vows. You have spoken them now before: (_________fill in as applies to deity, family, friends all present)…

Here is the original/alternate version..

In this world, there is both Light and Dark. We exist within both. This night, we stand between them. We do this to represent the Unity of Light and Dark, just as these two stand before us to bond to one another, to commit the ultimate act of Unity. This is the moment between..
(Recommend that this ceremony be performed at either sunset..or dawn if preferred.)

If within this moment you should find doubt in your heart, or if any present should know of any reason these two should not wed, I beg of you to say so now.. (pause)

As they take of one another, ponder now the Unity of Light and Dark. There cannot be one without the other. There is no beauty within the world without them both. As you shall be to one another always..blessed and beautiful. For it is blessed indeed, this Union. (During this part, preperations should be being made by Husband and Wife to be for the "drawing" however that should occur..or pouring the wine, etc. due to preference of the couple)

Let me be the Dark to your Light,

You have both taken of one another, the offering of

you shall be ever beauty to one another..Your Dark
to her light (light her white candle)..and Your Dark
to his..(light his white candle) (Have them blow out
one another's white candle)

There is nothing more sacred than these vows. You have spoken
them now before: (_________fill in as applies to deity, family,
friends..all present.._____)

It is my great pleasure..in the state of..blah blah blah..to present

*of course this is just basic..there can be
many alterations, and I pulled it on the
fly

Im sorry but I edited it the way I like it

[TempleUVUP Administrator]

It's no prob..I just really liked my version too, and thought I would offer it as an alternative..to kind of show what could be done with it..there are many diff variations that could be involved with it :)

*blush* Thank you..
Note: Rev JP Chrstvampyr and Lady Amanda were handfasted using a modified version..I had the honor and privilege of performing it. There will be a posting, with video, as soon as our Temple IT, Pandy, gets the necessary editing completed.
