<\/p>\n
Franziska and Christopher celebrate their pagan marriage on the day of the winter solstice, the shortest day and the longest night of the year. The guests arrive in the afternoon and are welcomed by the groom. Together, the wedding party takes itself to the ceremony place.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The bride’s father leads Franziska to the place of marriage. There he hands her over to her future husband, and the bridal couple paces through the bridal arch together. During the ceremony, Christopher and Franziska pledge eternal affinity and devotion to each other. They present sword and shield as wedding gifts to each other, in the presence of their witnesses.<\/p>\n
After the ceremony, the company strengthens itself with coffee and wedding cake in the Community Centre Zernsdorf. In the evening, the bridal couple, its family and friends and all of us meet for the winter solstice celebration at the fire. In the radiant glow of the fire and the blazing of the torches the ancient saga of the eternal solar cycle resounds, and the whole society feels as if it were transferred back to a time long ago.<\/p>\n
Dear Franziska, dear Christopher, it was a great experience to spend this special day of the year with you, your family and your friends. Your wedding on the day of the winter solstice and the evening flame celebration were accompanied by a very special mystical atmosphere. All of us enjoyed these magical moments very much. We wish you good luck and all the best for your future together – may the old gods always be with you!<\/p>\n
