The word “handfasting” comes from the Old Norse hand-festa, meaning “to strike a bargain by joining hands.” Historically, it served as a form of betrothal and, in some regions, as a temporary union lasting a year and a day. Today, couples embrace this tradition for its symbolism and beauty, using the binding of hands to represent unity, commitment, and enduring love.
