Re: A Klingon Wedding
Mark,
Here's something I wrote for the wedding. I'm not even attempting to parallel a
known Terran ceremony (especially because the participants aren't paralleling
this ceremony with the state-sanctioned ceremony and paperwork). Let me know
what you think and remember, I'm really just a beginer.

The officiate draws a dagger which he holds above their
heads. They reach up with their right hands and grasp
the blade palm down. the couple turns to the left to face each
other. The officiate lowers the blade to waist level, the
couple's hands still atop the blade. the officiate places his
hand on top of the couple's hands.]
