This handfasting was not only an intimate union but a collective experience, bringing together people from different counties. the couple themselves from england and sweden live in bail Indonseia and their presence in derbyshire combined the hindu tranditiaons with the pagan. 
the ceremony was attended by folk from nearby Belper and  Derby and further afield, Oxford , Stroud and Newark. Even further travellers were from Bali, Germany and Denmark.
All brought something greater to the ceremony—an offering of goodwill, love, and shared tradition. As the couples hands were bound with vibrant cords, voices lifted in harmony, and the beat of the drum guided the ritual, it became clear that we were more than individuals witnessing an event—we were a community, bound together in sacred rhythm.
