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.

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

      Heck they took off three grand on that one. That is massive! Then again your nest isn't small either so I guess would definitely come in handy.

      Congrats on T <3   The height problem I think is an issue for a lot of trans guys, unfortunately. I know more tall cis women than short cis men, so it especially stands out to me whenever I'm in a room. I'm hoping for your voice to drop soon, good luck! (I've heard it feels a little bit like a cold? If that's true, hope it'll feel better quickly and that it's worth it!)

      Hi Raine, my obstacles are that I'm 5"2 and always will be at the age of 34. I have size 5 feet, so it's difficult to find shoes, not alot of options, have to go to the teen boy bit. My voice was an issue, but T is starting to help me stay in the lower range of my fem voice, and I'm hoping it will drop soon.

      I just like how our posts complimented each other.  Your point about publicity of pride events and that culture seemed to be spot on.  My culture and mindset is so different that I'm barely aware that things like that are going on.  I don't watch news and I'm very much into professional life and life-long learning.  There are all kinds of cultures out there.  Thanks for sharing your insights.

      Here, the public image of LGBTQ+ is formed from the limited contact of the Pride Parade, which seems to always attract a few people who are into flamboyant sensationalism and inappropriate conduct, so there are arrests for lewd conduct, indecent exposure and public disorder.  Those are the people the news media always covers at the parade, as if everyone LGBTQ+ was like that.  The whole parade thing backfires, in my opinion.    Sometimes these types show up at protests as well, and of course, that is what the news media picks up on.    Some people need to be taken quietly aside and told they are not helping.   I don't know if that is the biggest block, but it is there.  Lousy marketing,

      One of my roommates bought cheese and pasta and asked if I would make mac & cheese.  I walked to the store and bought 4 cups of milk and then used the preppykitchen.com baked mac and cheese recipe that works so well.  Melting a stick of butter and whisking in 1/2 cup of flour and then adding the milk.  Breadcrumbs on top.  It's amazing out of the oven, but just edible when it is cold in the fridge.  It's all gone this morning and that made me happy.

      We made a mega batch of curried sausages today, with enough leftovers to go to others, and into our freezer for us.    Dished up with mashed potato and peas.

      I know my transwoman appearance can be a negative trigger for men.  I mean, it even negatively triggers what is left of my male thought patterns.  I'm wearing a tight fitting, full length, black dress the last few days.  If I could get rid of my male "junk" today, that would be wonderful.   I'm not going wear clothing that I do not enjoy and I'm not going to avoid wearing things like this dress just to avoid triggering some people.  During my coming out phase, I was very conscious about going out in public.  Now, several years later, it doesn't even cross my mind at all.  I am free to express myself the way I want to.  I do get some negative reactions from people in the public places I go.  I think it is good for them to realize that when you are in public, you are not in control of who you bump into or what you see.   I'm a homebody.  Before coming out, I enjoyed dressing up at home.  Even when I was presenting as a male, I enjoyed dressing up at home, in a masculine way, even if I wasn't going to go anywhere.  I just like looking good and feeling my best.  And it isn't about showing that to other people.   So the "acceptance" part of this, is that I just want to be accepted as I am out there in public.  I just want to make my transactions out there and for people to be civil about it.  I'm actually for segregation on the level of if people want to form some club or tavern with a certain culture where they don't have to see and be triggered by me in my dress, and I can go to some club with people who are doing a trans thing, listening to down-tempo acid jazz and drinking ginger tea.  But then there are the super public places like the grocery stores that everyone goes to and you know, we need greater acceptance there.   The work/employment thing is a huge deal too.  I think trans people should not use it as an excuse to get out of work or create waves at work and that employers and employees realize that there needs to be professionalism at work.  At work, we're trying to get products to people.  It all boils down to that.  We all use these products and most of us go to work to keep that thing going.  Work isn't some social club.   Back to the lump in my dress...  I kind of step into a woman's world by doing this in that they have breasts sticking out that they have no control over.

      My son has an industrial type stove on their farm.  I think he got it used online, he gets stuff online a lot.  Burns propane.  It is pretty nice.  I did use it when I was farm sitting for them.  But definitely overkill for someone like me living with a house-mate daughter.  We do our own cooking for the most part.  We also keep very different hours.
