Tying of the Fisherman's Knot Unity Ceremony Scripts With PDF's
We're Tying the Knot!
We’re tying the knot! Do people still say that? I guess so since I just did. There’s also a HUGE wedding website called The Knot and millions of brides and grooms use it and I even advertise on it. (Check out my reviews!) When it comes to wedding ceremonies, “tying the knot” has a whole different meaning. Instead of a sand ceremony or unity candle, couples are literally tying a knot. It’s called the Fisherman’s Knot or the Lover’s Knot.
What Is A Fisherman's Knot Ceremony?
So, what is a Fisherman’s Knot ceremony? The Fisherman’s Knot or Lover’s Knot is when a couple literally ties a knot during their wedding ceremony. The fisherman’s knot is literally the strongest knot there is. It will not break, but grow stronger under pressure.
The Fisherman’s Knot is obviously a great choice for your wedding if you are getting married on a beach or love boats or fishing. If my brother ever got married again it would be perfect for him. He LOVES to fish. My husband loves sailboats so it would be great for us if we ever renew our vows.
Realistically, tying the knot is also a really cute idea! It’s also very clean. I recently met with a couple that chose it because their venue will allow it. It doesn’t involve the pouring of sand like a unity sand ceremony. It’s also safe, as it doesn’t involve fire like the Unity Candle.

Fisherman's Knot Unity Ceremony Options
In my research for wedding ceremony ideas and scripts for the Fisherman’s Knot I found several options that can be adapted and personalized for your wedding ceremony:
- The Story of the True Lover’s Knot.
- 6 Fisherman’s Knot ceremony scripts.
- Knots of Love – An original poem by Tim Romines that is very suitable for a wedding ceremony.
The point of this website is to put as many options together in one place so couples and wedding officiants can use it as a resource when personalizing wedding ceremonies. I look for original sources whenever I can so I can link to them, however many of these options are in more than one place so it’s hard to know who the original author is. As a wedding officiant, I find these scripts a great starting point. I hope you do to.
The Story Of The True Lover’s Knot
Around the turn of the nineteenth century, an art form arose from the ranks of deep-water sailors. That art form was knotting. Sailors used rope to create knots that were anywhere from simple to elaborate. Some knots were purely for practical use and other knots were created for decorative use. Some knots were used to signify meaning. One knot that arose during this time period that was heavily laden with meaning was the True Lover’s Knot.
The true lover’s knot is a simple and clear knot, implying its forthright goal. It is made up of two overhand knots, linked together, much like the “true-lovers” are in their hearts. A deep-water sailor would tie the knot loosely, and send it to his intended back home. Upon receiving it, the woman could:

A deep-water sailor would tie the knot loosely, and send it to his intended back home. Upon receiving it, the woman could:
- Untie it. – Meaning the sailor shouldn’t show his face around the next time he was in port.
- Send it back leaving it loose the way she received it. – Meaning the sailor would be welcomed home, but he better be on his best behavior.
- Tighten the knot before returning it. – Meaning the sailor should hurry his way to the homestead.
