Carol Willis & Andy Fawcett's Handfasting

Plokta's own Sue Mason in High Priestess Shock

PNN would like to offer congratulations and best wishes to Carol Willis and Andy Fawcett, who were married in Ipswich on Saturday. The handfasting was conducted by High Priestess Sue Mason and High Priest Robin Hearne.

On reading the details of the ceremony, we're quite struck by the similarity to an old-fashioned school sport's day. First there's the joining of hands; the pagan equivalent of a three-legged race. Then all that jumping over the broomstick. And not to mention the egg-and-spoon race. OK, we lied about that last one.

We're also impressed by the proper superfluous technology credentials of the handfasting. The entire wedding was webcammed, there was an IRC session at the reception, and the photos were up within hours. You can see them at the official wedding site
