scottish wedding ideas

[Christopher & Cindy Baird]

We are getting married in October and are hoping to incorporate Scottish
wedding traditions into our ceremony. Besides the kilt and piper, are
there any Scottish wedding customs?

I was a maid of honor just last Saturday at a Scottish Renaissance
wedding. The bride wore her tartan over her shoulder, and after the
minister said the final prayers over the couple, and before she
introduced them as Mr & Mrs, the new mother-in-law came up, and replaced
the bride's tartan with the groom's, and the groom's father welcomed her
into their family.

The recessional was led by piper, through an arch of swords.

It was really quite nice!

the ice between both famailies (or did at mine). Also heather in the
button hole instead of a flower for luck ?

My wife will be able to think of many more traditions if you are
intrested.

Well, here's one - music on the Scottish Harp (Clarsach). This
instrument has an older and deeper association with the Scots than the
pipes do, and it's beautiful, mellow tones fit the ceremony in every
way.

Sonas,

wear a sprig of white heather in your buttonhole.
