Want to be part of my wedding?

I have to compile my list for the piper. Want to help me fill in the blanks?

I know there are not many scots here & likely most of you will not feel what we do when hearing them but maybe you'd like to get involved?

Here are some sample tunes. http://www.piperforhire.co.uk/sample_tunes/index.html

& decisions already made.

Arrival of the bride.

..............................

Walking down the aisle.

Braveheart.

Signing the register

Amazing grace

Pipe out of ceremony.

.................................

While photo's are taken.

.....................................

Pipe up to the top table.

Scotland the brave.

For your pipe out try Black Bear.

YouTube - The Black Bear

It's used when returning to barracks. I've always liked this...

YouTube - The Skye Boat Song; 2007 Tattoo

YouTube - Corries - Skye Boat Song

A bit of listening for you....

YouTube - Ghosts of Culloden

and this isn't for your wedding but it is pretty awesome.....

YouTube - Top Secret Drum Corps Edinburgh Military Tattoo 2006

All the best on the day............:-6:-6

Highland Cathedral - my very, very favourite piece of bagpipe music.

Oh Buttercup....I love Skye Boat Song...makes me happy.

While the photos are taken, were it me, I'd ask the piper himself before the ceremony if he has a pibroch he'd honour the company with. There's time enough, it would please him and you'd get something special.

I think they're all lovely myself. Not sure I could help you choose. But Amazing Grace on bagpipes...would have me crying my eyes out. It never fails. There is just something about the way they do that....

She got married last week and the marriage was annulled on Mon Chez.

Nice going pouring salt on the wounds. :rolleyes:

GOD !

Of the ones there I'd pick :-

Lord Lovat's Lament (a lament maybe but a beautiful tune for all that)

The Athol Highlanders

Bonnie Dundee

Wild Mountain Thyme

but I'd go with Spot's excellent suggestion.

May the day be everything you've planned and all you hope for - God bless the bride :-6
