Wiccan Weddings?


Guest HashBrown

Guest Lee-Asher Geo-James

I proposed to my girlfriend Willow just a few days ago, as most of you know.

She asked what kind of Wedding I wanted and I said a wedding...

I didn't know what she meant...

Then she was like Wiccan, Catholic?

I was like you pick.

Since I got to pick our date.

She choose Wiccan.

Our lovely friend Megan is a minister and a 3rd Degree High Priestess. :)

She will end up "marrying" us...

So I was just curious on if anyone has had any experience with being a part of one? Or is going to have one?

Our friend Megan is going to give us details today, but I was just curious about everyone. :)

Thank you

*hugs*

Honey......

My wife is a practicing Wiccan of many years...

There has been many rites and rituals preformed at my house.....

The beauty of a Wiccan wedding is that there are no rules...

It's written the way you want it to go....

Very flexible.....

Hey, where's Lizzy....she'll have something good on this!

Well, like so many other weddings that I would have loved to have photographed the Wiccan wedding on Halloween one year fell through for me because they could not afford a photographer at all.

They have so much less structure than most weddings because the religion itself is much more fluid than so many of the rigid practices of most churches.

All I can say is that it should be very interesting.

Love ya,

Sally

Its really a matter of choice - what makes the wedding sacred to you? Wicca is the association with the forces of the earth and the universe - and the recognition of the Creator as the goddess form. It has many rituals to chose from and usually people like to associate with their chosen life force - such as water, perhaps married by a lake. It should be 'green' as in environmentally sound - and it should reinforce the purity of the moment, a pivot point in your existance.

The High Priestess will explain, you are fortunate to find one.

Megan and I are going to talk today, Willow too if she's awake by then. :lol:

I am glad that I found her. Er well I was talking to her about the Wedding and that Willow wanted it to be Wiccan and she told me that she is a minister and Wiccan and that she could do it for us. :D

Willow has met Megan so at least she isn't a stranger (er in person I mean :lol: )

If I hadn't brought it up then we may not be so fortunate.

I found out from like the only other Wiccan thread :P :P

Why are you having both? :unsure:

Very simple, and short... my wife hand picked the music, we wrote the whole ceremony ourselves... her sister was the maid of honor, and my father was the best man. (Yes i know those aren't typical, but the whole thing was exactly how we wanted it. We had a friend of her family, who is minister, oversee it. It was really great..I bawled the WHOLE time LMAO

I already have a 3rd Degree High Priestess and she is able to legally marry people. I do believe that it's called that same thing. :)

Her name is Megan. :) *Thank you Megan :P *

But thank you :D

      Well, welcome M.A. Several of my now grown kids were involved in theater in school.  And one is now a graphic designer.

      Wow what a busy day today.  Clearly the summer crowd is coming into town.  Doesn’t hurt that we have a PGA event here.  It is limited to 100 players. But the spectators is where the crowd is.   i alone more than doubled my usual sales.     we keep hearing thunderstorms however they are staying just west of us for now. The storms in western Tennessee right now are supposed to be here in the morning.

      Edit: Latest album is called "Drumless". My bad. The name of their tour is Drummer.

      My gen z cousin & her gf were visiting the last few days. We are a very, very small contingent of queer members of our family & we stick together. She and her gf introduced me to G Flip. They recently attended a concert and said it was the best concert ever. They were playing G Flip in the car and I was impressed by the vocals, the lyrics, the influences, and the percussion (G is also a drummer). I love a nonbinary vocalist (not that we get to hear so many...yet...) because the freedom from gender performance shines forth. I could hear influences from many styles of music I loved in the 90s, but all blended together in a joyfully percussive way. G Flip is rad! I would post a link to some tracks or an album, but there are explicit lyrics which would go against community rules - you can easily search youtube yourself if you're interested; their latest album is called "Drummer". But here is a picture of G who is serving us gorgeous nonbinary vintage Axl Rose!

      Welcome, @MAN8791. I relate to this so much. I'm roughly the same age as you, afab & nonbinary. For decades, I beat myself up for being a "broken" girl/woman. And I tried my darndest for many of those years to perform woman successfully. While outwardly I may have seemed "a success", inwardly the effort and dysphoria caused me so much anxiety, panic, and depression that it eventually became unsustainable. For me, the first step was letting go of identifying as "broken". Next, I allowed myself to be however I am. And very rapidly I felt better - in fact, initially I felt ecstatic. The door was open for me to really learn about self-love and therefore love itself.

      Well, the counter space in the kitchenette is pretty Limited. But also cost, and usefulness. I guess she is mostly right, and it isn't really important.

      "The Health and Human Services Grants Regulation (HHS Grants Rule) Final Rule protects LGBTQI+ people by clarifying and reaffirming the prohibition on discrimination on the basis of sex – including sexual orientation and gender identity – in specific health and human services programs, consistent with the Supreme Court decision in Bostock v. Clayton County, 590 U.S. 644 (2020)."   https://www.hhs.gov/about/news/2024/04/30/hhs-issues-final-rule-prevent-discrimination-health-and-human-services-grant.html

      Wasn't sure whether to post this in the "uplifting news" or "news" forum. This bill is pro-LGBTQ+, albeit 30 some odd years too late with 100s of thousands of lives lost throughout the AIDS crisis. The upshot is that ol' Ron has actually done some good for the community. That's really...something...although I doubt he sees it that way. And most importantly, greater access to screening and care will save many lives.   https://ncpa.org/newsroom/qam/2024/05/01/floridas-governor-signs-bill-expand-hiv-care

      Both of my parents were raised in WASP-ish families. What was or wasn't appropriate, with an emphasise on superficial appropriateness (conformity) was verbally beaten into me the second I hit puberty.   Which is really sad as I think back, and was bewildering at the time. I remember being really free to be expressive how I wanted to and then once I started puberty, all of that freedom disappeared and I didn't understand, at all.

      I'm doing "beans and rice" for dinner tonight, but it's Punjabi style red bean curry and saffron rice, and I always have an appetizer tray of cut vegetables and dip (seasoned yogurt to go with the theme) on the table.  Might grab a package of naan from the store on the way home, or just make a pan of very american biscuits to go with.

      I'm volunteering both days of our Pride Festival (signing other volunteers in, lol).    Taking my two younger kids (oldest is way too cool for school, lol) to a family friendly pride festival, and then turning them loose at the city wide event while I listen to music. They're old enough to experiment with independence and the festival is in a controlled enough space they can feel like they're getting away from me without being *that* far away. My middle is newly out as LGBTQ+ and has been practicing their makeup look for a couple weeks already (age 14) <3

      Well today was mostly sleeping so far. I woke up at around 0600 and made sure my oldest was ready for school. I came back down on the computer chair and next thing I knew it was 0953. I went through speech therapy for myself. Next thing I realize it's 1300 and apparently went to sleep again. I knew I slept last night but whew apparently not enough.

      Jeans, grey henley, heathered grey blazer with elbow patches, split sole jazz sneakers. Blazer is one of my favorite wardrobe pieces and it's warm but super windy today so perfect sort of day for it
