| Handfasting is a condition under which two people who believe they wish to get married "test the waters". Handfasting is in a sense a temporary marriage, performed as an engagement ceremony here within the Kingdom of Nexus. The handfasted couple are expected to be committed to each other and be aware of their partner's concerns and feelings. Most often the handfasted couple live together while they are handfasted, and in every possible sense behave as a married couple.

| Within the Druidic path, a handfasting ritual can be performed by a *Druid Cleric*. It begins, of course, with the prospective couple. They decide they wish to be permanently committed and want to find out if they would be compatible in a marriage situation. At this point, they go to a Druid Cleric.

| The couple must each name three things about the other person that they think are wonderful. They must also name three things about the other person that they might not find perfect. If both of these conditions are not met, the Druid Cleric will not handfast the couple until such time as these conditions can be met. This is because the Druid Cleric wishes to make sure that the couple knows enough about their partner that they are aware of what they are committing.

| If you and your future bride or husband would like to commit to one another by participating in a traditional Druid handfasting ceremony, please find, and contact a Druid Cleric.
