The cliche' tying the knot is centuries old. In the middle

ages, it was believed tying "the knot" would have a

positive influence on the marriage. The Nuptial Knot

has brought an old custom into the 21st century.

The two separate ends looped over into a knot

represents two becoming one. To tie means to "bind".

The knot means to secure, so when you tie the knot

you are symbolically bonding and securing your marriage

and you have a precious keepsake to cherish forever.
