Wedding Cords

I finally ordered the supplies for our wedding cords. I've always liked the symbolism of pagan handfastings, but DH's family is a bit on the religious conservative end, so I didn't want to shock them with an outright pagan ceremony. Therefore, I am using the cords to symbolize the love and support our family and friends have for us, and have designated six people to come and symbolicly tie us together. I decided on colors for the cords, beads and charms. I will post a better description once I am done with them and have pictures of the end results. Right now I've braided 4 out of 6 of the cords. Next step is to complete the last two and then add the embellishments.
