I played for one over the weekend that was a hoot. It was, by and large, a
traditional Hindu ceremony. Where do the pipes come in you may ask.
The bride had designed a very nice bit in the early part to show her moving
from the heritage she had claimed as hers into the culture of her husband.
We marched in with an entourage and she took a sari from the groom and then
headed back out, changed, and came back in as a Hindu bride.
It was actually very nice. I just had to remember that playing tunes with
titles like "Siege of Delhi" were in subtly poor taste. :->

OK. What are your thoughts on a bride and groom who want the whole
band to play, drums and all, inside the church?

Now you've gone and done it. Dean and Charles will be coming on the NG
any minute complaining about non-God-sanctioned Hindu weddings :):):)

Now to the thought. Our church is 100 years old. Very large, and could
accomidate a complete band with no trouble. I'm not sure just how the
echo would affect things. The echo is diminished by the presence of
human bodies in the church. The more bodies, the less echo. It should
be a fairly large wedding. I, personally would have no objection
although I can't speak for the pastor. I fully intend to play my pipes
whenever (God willing) I get good enough to actually play in public.
Frankly, after some of the things I have seen passed off as worship
(sorry very judgmental here) I think a pipe band would score on the
lower end of the unusual scale.
A bishop friend of mine, who will remain nameless, offered me this
thought on doing things from a "pastoral" point of view. "It is easier
to ask forgiveness than to ask permission."
I am sure that these threads will not number in the 100+ as did the
other wedding.

Probably NONE. I expect a gay Wiccan would be a tolerant person.

leading tips, it should be OK. Where it goes pear-shaped is when you have
just pipers who aren't really paying attention to one another. That said,
my old school band used to play Highland Cathedral with a sittin'-doon band
and no drummers, and that always worked OK.

I had the whole band in the choir loft at my own wedding. They played
AG (solo, solo with organ, whole band with organ on 2nd verse) during
the wedding candle ceremony. That was 14 years ago. I'm still married
(to my complimentary sex) and people still talk about how beautiful it
sounded.
Since then I have played perhaps 3 or 4 times with a full band inside a
church. As long as the band is in tune and the church is large enough
to let the sound "expand" then give the people what they want. If
nothing else, it will jar them from their sleep...
Cheers,

play, drums and all, inside the church?<<
I played at my cousin's wedding, where the bride wanted my brothers, sisters
and I to play for the processional. That was two pipers, a side, tenor and
bass. My first reaction was "What is this, a parade?"
(I personally don't think you _need_ the drum section for a wedding)
The bride did NOT want us present at the wedding rehearsal. We arrived an
hour before the wedding, tuned up in the parking lot - where the minister came
and filled us in on the bride's instructions : Stand at the back of the church.
Play the bridesmaids in, then stop and begin a different tune for the bride's
entrance.
My brother chose the tunes. When he chose "Skye Boat Song" for the bride's
processional, I realized he had never laid eyes on her...so I suggested he
might want to choose another tune. Nope, that had a nice feel to it.
Time came to play the bride in - we were signalled by a nod from the
minister who could see her standing at the doors (our backs were to her). We
struck in - the bride made her entrance, my brother damn near swallowed his
blow stick. He turned to look at me, the disbelief on his face was hilarious.
The bride was about the size of a small tugboat.
I kid you NOT

Yes.
I didn't want to use the term, "opposite."
Come to think of it, after 14 years what started off as "complimentary"
["Oh baby, you were great"] has shown signs of becoming "complimentary"
["Thank you for the necklace, here's some sex"] or even "opposite" ["Are
you crazy? You'll wake the kids!"] but that's as inevitable as Guinness
stains on your bag cover. Comes with the territory. Wouldn't trade it
for anything. Well, maybe a new bag cover...

Actually, Hindu weddings are sanctions by gods, so I don't think
there's a problem.
(Actually, if you want to get technical, it's not the wedding that's
supposed to be blessed by God.)

In fact there is a Procedure for this in the Catholic Church, at least.
Where a baptised person could marry a non-baptised person. Sorry, I
always forget if it is the Pauline Privelege or Petrine Privelege.
