Was it for the reason that of his adore or the Really like Potion Spell the witch cast? Maybe bit of each. I believe he likes becoming married to a witch. He's my husband.

I know hubby has taken fairly a bit of ribbing getting married to a witch. Standing about the barbecue pit with his buddies flipping burgers, I heard him asked, "So, love, does she place spells on you?" followed by a bucket complete of manly ho, ho ho's. Husband just smiled. He knows that certainly I did place a spell on him shortly as soon as we met - with his permission of course.

He supplied me with a snippet of his hair. "Go ahead, place a spell on me," brave-hearted possible lover stated prior to dubiously eyeing the anthame (witch ceremonial knife) and adding, "A excellent 1."

A circle was drawn about the region where our personally written vows would be exchanged. The officiating priestess-witch donned in flannel nightgown and woolen leggings study the vows aloud ahead of binding our hands with a red ribbon signifying we had been as 1. It was a entertaining, loving, enchanting occasion.
