The bagpipes add a special
atmosphere and sense of grandeur to any Scottish wedding.
The piper usually stands at the church door,
in full Highland dress, and plays as the guests arrive. Later he leads the
couple from the church to the car and he might also pipe them to the top table
of honour along with the bridal party. Gaelic hymns are often played at Scottish
weddings and the bride is frequently piped down the aisle.
When it comes to the wedding reception, choosing your
music and entertainment is very important. Many couples now opt for a
live band for weddings rather than a DJ for example. A traditional ceilidh
can add to the atmosphere and is now becoming more popular with married couples.
When hiring a
wedding band in Scotland, couples may be looking for ceilidh music. A
ceilidh band can provide all night entertainment for the wedding guests and is
popular with both the old and the young.
A modern day
Scottish wedding band will often includes ceilidh music in addition to their
repertoire of contemporary rock and pop cover versions. This keeps all the
relatives happy no matter what age they are – there’ll be some music to suit
everyone. Most live bands will also have a list of
songs to play at a wedding, from which you can pick and choose your
favourite tunes. They will also of course, take special requests from the
married couple. Often the couple will have a particular favourite (their song)
which has special importance for them.
In a traditional Scottish wedding reception, the newly-wed
couple will lead off the dancing, and the festivities often last long into the
night. Before the evening is finished the bride and groom will sneak away
quietly and go to a secretly arranged destination for their wedding night – the
start of their honeymoon. In some case, at the end of the evening guests may
gather in a circle and sing "Auld Lang Syne".
