Collaring Ceremonies?

[3113]

Can anyone tell me what a Collaring Ceremony is like? What kind of rituals did the couple engage in? What kind of vows? Was there any one such ceremony that really moved you?

And if you were to have one (assuming you haven't) what would your ideal be for such a ceremony? Public? Private? etc?

A collaring ceremony is somethign that can be deeply moving. Normally they are arranged specific to the individuals. You can find descriptions of what others have done online but that is just one persons idea.

I arranged a collaring ceremony and it took 3 months to plan. The hardest part was getting everyone there at the same time. We live in CT and we had people drive up from southern jersey. To top things off, the date selected ended up being the same night as a play party. The party got canceleld because of the blizzard but the ceremony was still a go.

Let em give you a basic description of what we did.

Lights were dimmed. I had arranged a circle of 30 candles and placed a hexagon shaped area run in the middle of them. There was a table with a black cloth on it. On the table was the collar that we had made specific for her. There was also a vase of roses. Each rose had a different saying tied to it. I had all the guest (I had invited 12 people) in the room with the exception of the two who would lead my slave out to me. She was blindfolded and had her hand tied together. The music started (church bells tolling and then monks chanting) and she was led out. Still blindfolded, she was passed to me. I led her into the circle of candles and took off her blindfold. I then untied her hands and had her kneel. I leaned over and asked her if she still intedned to server me as both wife and slave. She said yes. I had the guest step foward, take a rose and stand in front of her. They said some words of encouragement and then dropepd the rose on the floor in front of her. After they were all done, then I placed the collar on her neck. I then helped her stand up and then knelt down to pick up the roses which I handed to her.

Thats about it for what we did. Some have done something as simple as placing the collar around the nexk. Some have done more elaborate ones. It all depends on the individuals. As for rituals, they also are specific to the individuals.

Hope that helps.

For us it was simple and private, though in front of lots of people. He walked through the doors of international arrivals, took me in his arms and as he kissed me deeply, he placed his collar around my neck. People were passing but doubt the knew what really was happening, though many were interested in our passionate greeting. It is a moment I will treasure, and one I was happy was just about us as opposed to arranging something with many people present. It is nice to share, but we are very much individuals and loners in that sense, so we didn't even think of including others as it wasn't really us. When we married 2 weeks later, we only had my immediate family (5 people) and 2 friends there...once again, it was special and private.
