William and Kirsten have been together for more than a decade, and today they finally gathered close friends and family for an intimate exchange of vows to make their life together officially forever. But that wasn’t all they exchanged; along with the ancient tradition of handfasting during their ceremony, they also gave each other gifts instead of rings, as in medieval wedding ceremonies. William -on bended knee, no less- presented Kirsten with a sword, and Kirsten tied her scarf around William’s shoulders. How romantic!
