tying the knot

I'm not talking about a handfasting ceremony.  I'm talking about "tying the knot"  A triple fisherman's knot to be exact.  It is said to be one of the simplest knots to tie.  Yet, it is one of the strongest knots.  In fact the rope will break before the knot comes undone.  The knot only gets tighter with pressure.

A rope could sit at an altar table and be presented to the bride and groom during the ceremony.  Together, the couple will tie the triple fisherman's knot into the rope.  as they do this the officiant will explain to the guest the strength of the triple fisherman's knot as well as the significance.  While tying the triple knot, the couple symbolizes three things.  The past that joined them together and brought them to the altar,  the present and the moment they are in, and the future they will share.

After the wedding day the fisherman's knot can be framed into a shadow box with the wedding date and displayed in the couples home.

    I believe in the ceremony of things. I believe in making personal occasions PERSONAL.
