Greetings,

Over the years as founding Father of the Sanguinarium and Sabretooth Clan many of my Family members have asked me to officiate their weddings, handfastings and renewals of vows.   So far I have presided around a dozen ceremonies so far for Sabretooths (my personal fang clients) and members of the Sanguinarium, and now I am offering this service to those outside my Family.

In 2012 I founded the Vampyre Priesthood within the Sanguinarium to perform the Eight Vampyre Sacraments which include weddings. which are sacred to our tradition.  Please note that Sabretooth Vampyre tradition believes and supports a separation of “Church” and State, so we choose not to make these weddings legally binding and prefer to only perform the ceremonial elements after the Civil Union / civil wedding has been legally perform.

Blood & Roses – A Vampyre Wedding Ceremony

Within our traditions “Vampyre Wedding” which we call Blood & Roses is akin to a handfasting often practiced in Neo-Pagan traditions which has three stages.

Phase One “The First Rings” takes place for a period of a year and a day and expires, is renewed or the individuals move to the next phase.  This is similar to a traditional engagement.

Phase Two “The Second Rings” takes place after the First Rings first year and a day is complete and is a “traditional wedding” where often the civil wedding takes place around the same time.  This lasts for 7 years and a day and like the First Rings is something which expires, is renewed or the participants move to the Third Rings.

Phase Three “The Third Rings” takes place after the Second Rings and is something which bonds both souls for eternity, this is a huge and rare commitment which should only be done for the most parallel of souls.  This bond is acknowledging soulmates and is not something to take on a part time commitment.

Other Weddings

Of course I am not limited to the traditional Blood & Roses ceremony and am happy to offer my services for other paradigms as I am a chaos magician and can work within any belief system.  I am ordained in the ULC (Universal Life Church) and depending on the jurisdiction’s laws can perform legal weddings.  If I am not available and you wish for a Vampyre Wedding I can refer one of my Vampyre Priests from the Vampyre Priesthood.

Price & Schedule

Usually I dont charge directly anything for performing a wedding or renewal of vows for members of the Sanguinarium especially at planned courts such as the International Sabretooth Conclave (every other year including 2015, 2017, 2019, etc) or the Endless Night Vampire Ball events.  Ticket holders of Endless Nights can choose to get married on stage during the ball or the outer court (such as the New Orleans Vampire Court) for free as a performance peace.   My fee outside of these terms is a fee (depending on the complexity of the wedding and my involvement) plus travel, accommodations and reasonable expenses.  Yet this is negotiable depending on the situation.

Eternally,
Father Sebastiaan
