Eheleite and handfasting
A Eheleite (to escort into marriage) is the old way of holding a wedding. At such a marriage ceremony, however, not only the bride and groom but also two families/clans are bound together (Handfasting). A new clan is created, which is why the consent of all family members involved in the wedding is an important matter. In addition to the physical bond between the spouses, greater emphasis is placed on the sense of belonging between two families who will become a single family in the future.
