This illustration from You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. (Guillaume de Machaut, Remède de Fortune, Paris, 1350-1355 ca) suggests that the origin of the "double hand-shake" could be a double exchange of rings. The illustration is titled “Comment la dame et lamant changent daniaus” (how the lady and her lover exchange rings). Since the two lovers are not accompanied by a priest but by a second woman, I don't believe this courtly love scene can represent a wedding.
