Our Heathen Handfasting Ceremony, Freyja's Day 9/30/2016

My soulmate and I tied the knot in the fall of 2016. We've been together since fall of 2009. This is the video of our ceremony.

Our lovely priestess (and good friend) Valerie wrote and performed the ceremony, and she did the invocation in Icelandic (the translation was provided in the scroll programs for the guests).
Here is the Icelandic to English translation of the invocation:

Nauð is alight, Nauð is alive,
Pure in its brightness,
Pure against darkness.
Please, all of Asgard, ancestors, elves and elemental wights, join us in today's celebrations,
Bless us with your presence in this consecrated grove.

Hail the folk!
The living blood of Heimdall,
And honor to you glorious ancestors,
Whose deeds have brought us forth,
An unbroken line,
we continue the breath of our people.
Hail the folk!

Hail Alfather Odin!
Lord of Asgard,
Pale poet of battle,
Noble rider of Sleipnir.
Knowledge for your eye,
Runes for your sacrifice.
We ask you to walk with us in Midgard and make this realm your home.
Hail Odin!

Hail mighty Thor,
Master of Thrudheim,
Thunderer and might maker of right,
Winter is nearing and your protection is dear to us,
We ask you to walk with us in Midgard and make this realm your home.
With Mjolnir, strike out injustice done to those devoted to you.
Hail Thor!
Hail Sif!
Good-mother of Ullr and Thrudr,
Lady of Thrudheim,
Wife of Thor, and great seeress,
Warm the earth with your tresses
By your decree, the grains are graced with gold,
We ask you to walk with us in Midgard and make this realm your home.
Hail Sif!

Hail Freyja!
The Lady Vadanis ,
Owner of Brisingamen,
Ruler of Folkvangr, realm of the glorious dead,
Today we ask you most of all to be our patron Goddess,
For one of your many gifts is the grace of true love which we are in the presence of today.
We ask you to walk with us in Midgard, and make this realm your home.
Hail Freyja!"
