Tim & Amber's Beltane Handfasting.

May 1st 2011.

Amber and Tim have their handfasting ceremony at Bushy Coombe, the public part of Chalice hill, Glastonbury, England.


Zena and Dreow the Druid ( both in white) conduct the ceremony.
Oshia plays the Harp, and later sings alone and with her friends. The "Pigeon Song" can raise a smile from anyone!
Tim and Amber give us a happy song too.

Handfasting is a pagan marriage similar to a conventional civil marriage, and vows of commitment are exchanged between the two partners as usual. Beltane, the ancient Celtic fire-festival, is a good time to get married.

I found this ceremony wonderful, and the music is great too; shame about the WIND NOISE, but it's not heard all the time; reduce your bass if it's too much for you. I hope it doesn't spoil your enjoyment of this rather lengthy vid.

Many thanks to the YouTube operators who now allow quite long videos on some accounts.

Hi Steve. I echo your words, and sincerely wish for a happy life for Amber and Tim.

My only regret for this video is that the wind-noise can be overpowering at times; not much that I could do about that I'm afraid, as using the 'wind-cut' feature on the camera would have produce not only wind-cut, but a thin and weedy sound, ruining the rest of the video :(

I haver thumbed up all video comments of late, but have seen that they don't seem to be making it to the page! Mike.
