I'm making the handfasting amulet from ENM and I have a question.
It's a bit late in the season for Yarrow flowers where I live. I gathered some that have browned, but not yet gone to seed. Still suitable for the amulet? Should I use another venutian substitute?
The couple and I have also settled on some fairly traditional ceremonies from some "American Marriage Ministries" materials, and there is no death symbolism aside from some halloweeny headstones in the reception areas, which I don't believe will affect the ceremony. (Though the bride does choose to dress in black)
It's going to be a small affair with mostly just family present, and I think its going to go well!
The couple has also requested that I smudge them, and the general area of the wedding, with sage. This is something I haven't done before. Do you or the commentariat have any suggestions for this?

I hope you're doing well!
