Marriage under Brehon law

[Deleted]

Im reposting this here as I realise my other post was in the wrong forum !
Anyway...I am getting married this year and we would like to have a traditional , perhaps handfasting , ceremony. We dont want a christian or neo-pagan marriage as they are often practised today rather we are looking to do the ceremony as outlined under Brehon law if such exists. I realise this is more an Irish thing than a Brythonic thing does anyone have any knowledge of marriage under brehon law or could you point to any articles ?
or does anyone know anything about handfasting in the historic sense ?

Afaik, there isn't anything in the Brehon laws about how marriages were actually conducted - the laws just deal with different types of marriage.

The fundamental part of any marriage ceremony is simply stating your intention before witnesses, so I would take that as a starting point and build the rest around it.

I played at a handfasting recently and the celebrant claimed to be using an authentic handfasting ceremony. However, this appeared to be more Medieval English than anything else, probably because the sources for anything else don't really exist. (I also had my suspicions that although some of it was genuinely historical, other parts of the handfasting were a bit neo-pagan!)

ah sure - medieval is plenty authentic enough for me - so how were things done in medieval times ?
