- "According to the law of grown ups it's my responsibility to solemnize marriages. What I relish is the pure joy and playfulness, the bliss, that a loving couple brings to a handfasting."

- "At it's heart a handfasting is about consent, two people consenting as equals to share unreservedly with each other all that they are, have been and will be. That's a quite profound thing to celebrate." -Cara
