Thank you for you input. I did not know much of the history or sectors behind the ritual. The ceremony will be a vow renewal, formal collaring and formalizing our D/s commitment to each other kinda thing, so there are different parts to it.

I have done some reading on the handfastening and am undecided on adding that or not......have not talked to master about it yet, but it is very interesting.

Your ceremony's sound lovely, thank you for sharing what you did.
