We have a longstanding and urgent appointment on the windswept Salisbury plains this cool Beltaine day at a Neolithic structure of stones named Stonehenge.

	The stone henge silently awaits us as Mother Nature barely contains her May shower.		Our guests approach this enigmatic circle of stones.
	Trilithon photo opportunity!		This is Robin's brother Malcolm with his girlfriend Judy.
	A mysterious cloaked figure invades the ancient perimeter.		He gathers the crowd and announces his intentions to wed if his heart's desire should appear this day.
	And appear she does, in Celtic finery!  (It's the same wedding gown she wore in Marlborough, now disguised by a velvet bodice and cape.)		A Celtic Priestess (who goes by the name Wise Owl) steps forward to orchestrate this holy ceremony.
	The couple declare themselves to her.		Wise Owl appeals to each of the four quarters for blessings and entreats the spirits who have joined them there, especially acknowledging Ancestors.
	Robin places the ring on VJ's finger.		Vicky Jo responds in kind.
	Vicky Jo's sister Nancy formally welcomes Robin into her family.		Robin's sister Sally formally welcomes Vicky Jo into her family.
	Remember that Chalice Well water?  The priestess pours some into a silver chalice and blesses it now.		Robin and Vicky Jo drink, and help each other to drink as a symbol of their new status as helpmates.
	Wise Owl invites the couple to share this water with the others who are gathered there.		Heather accepts graciously.
	Vicky Jo's mother partakes.		As the couple winds their way around the entire circle to share, even little Emily is included.
	Wise Owl binds the couple's hands together with cord to symbolize the ancient ritual of handfasting.		Vicky Jo and Robin exchange their private vows.
	The celebrant seals their bond with the Lord's Prayer (spoken in Gaelic).		Vicky Jo's father offers up a holy benediction.
	Wise Owl sings a capella in Gaelic.  (Chills run down our spines to hear the blessed music waft amongst these ancient stones.)		The time comes to unweave the magick circle and end the ceremony.
	We thank the souls who joined with us today... and the rite is over!		VJ's mother is first to congratulate the new bride.
	Robin tries to convince his new father-in-law to pay all the wedding expenses, but doesn't get very far.		Now it's time for photos with the married couple -- Wise Owl first! Want to see a short video of the ceremony?
	A family picture of some sort...		With their honored English guests, Steve & Ann Myers.
	The newlywed couple poses with the ancient bluestones.		The time to depart this magickal henge arrives all too soon.
