Thursday, January 3, 2013, Curtis Knight from Curtis Knight Entertainment (CKE ) www.curtisknight.com was the Justice of the peace and Curtis and shot Still Photos at Brian and Stacys Wedding Ceremony at a beautiful home in Lowell, Massachusetts.There was snow on the roof and a fire burning in the living room fire place as a group of about 20 friends and family members watched on and took a LOT of cell phone pictures. The ceremony included Tying of the knot. Here is the verbiage from the actual ceremony – tying the knot.Some of you may have heard of the expressing tying the knot when referring to marriage. This comes from a ceremony from the 1500s known as hand fasting. Hand fasting is where a couples hands are fastened together with a rope.

To secure their hands together a knot was tied, and so marriage became known informally as tying the knot. Today Tracy and Brian have provided us with this special rope that we will now use to bind their hands together as they enter into this loving contract of marriage.I will ask Tracy and Brian to please join their right hands together and now your left hands. Notice that their outstretched arms form the infinity symbol, representing their eternal and everlasting love for each other. { Curtis begins to tie the lengths of ribbon or cloth or rope to Tracyand Brians hands ). Today Tracy and Brian have asked their friends and family to witness their tying the knot.[ CELEBRATION OF THE HANDS ] Before exchanging rings, please join your hands and with your hands your hearts. These are the hands of your best friend, young and strong and full of love for you, that are holding yours on your wedding day, as you promise to love each other today, tomorrow, and forever. These are the hands that will work alongside yours, as together you build your future. These are the hands that will passionately love you and cherish you through the years, and with the slightest touch, will comfort you like no other. These are the hands that will hold you when fear or grief fills your mind. These are the hands that will countless times wipe the tears from your eyes; tears of sorrow, and as in today, tears of joy. These are the hands that will tenderly hold your children, the hands that will help you to hold your family as one. These are the hands that will give you strength when you need it.

And lastly, these are the hands that even when wrinkled and aged, will still be reaching for yours, still giving you the same unspoken tenderness with just a touch.{ Curtis begins to untie the lengths of ribbon or cloth ). Here is a Facebook Photo Album with photos taken by Curtis.
