The Prelude, "Endearing Young Charms", a traditional irish song that reminds us true love is not based on transient, outward beauty.
The bride was escorted in by her dad, to the music "Morag of Dunvegan", a Scottish tune about marrying your true love.
After the words of welcome by Rev. Virginia Bishop, the couple were invited to step into the circle to begin their ceremony.
The bride wore a magnificent lace gown, with green shoes! Her dad and mom wore their traditional clan plaid accessories. At the beginning of the ceremony, the Declaration of Love reading that was selected by the couple was read.
. In addition to their vows and ring exchange, Dawn and Mark had a handfasting ritual. The handfasting was done using a piece of the groom's tartan, wrapped around the wrist of the couple, symbolizing unity. It is from this tradition, that we get the term "Tied the knot".
After the closing blessings, the couple left the inner circle to the tune "Westering Home", a Celtic folk song about returning to your homeland.
After the wedding, the parents proudly signed the marriage license as witnesses to the wedding.
The couple shared the roots of their Celtic Surnames:
Ireland: Irish/Scotts - someone who comes from Ireland. Can be traced back to the ancient Kingdom of Dalriada in Scotland. Clan Motto: Love and Peace.
Stewart: Scottish - From the word steward, one who is in charge of the King's Royal Household. The Stewart family held the Scottish Crown for several centuries, the most famous member being Mary Queen of Scotts.
