Our collaring ceremony was a version of the Six Cord Ceremony associated with some Handfasting ceremonies. It was outside under a huge maple tree late at night with a single candle. We spoke a few words about the commitment we were making, then joined hands. Each of us had three cords (His-black, blue, purple. Mine--white, red, green), and as we spoke each vow, we'd wrap one cord around our hands (alternating between His and mine). With all six cords wrapped around our hands, He claimed me as His own. After the cords, we burried two coins under the roots of the tree together. There was no formal placing of a collar around my neck, but the lovely cords and small spade we used are 'on display' in our home. Six months after the collaring, we formalized things with 'nilla friends and family with a legal wedding. He carried His cords in His suit pocket, and I had my cords wrapped in my bouquet. No one really knew why they were there, but we did. We have the whole thing on video, but it's dark, and the light from the single candle we used kinda overpowers the details. Edited to add: After the collaring, we went inside and fucked like rabbits. Sorry, I hadda get that out because the whole post seemed kinda heavy.
