A Wedding I Recently Played At

[Blupiper]

In September, I was asked to play at the wedding of a friend of mine. I was outdoor and we have great weather in the beginning of September. Except for this day. Here is a photo of me playing for the crowd before the ceremony. I'm soaked:

As I struck in my pipes for the processional, though, the skies cleared and we were off:


Here's a shot of the wedding party:

As the ceremony ended, this came out over the wedding. A pretty finale:

As night fell, we headed for the reception:

The groom gave each of his groomsmen a flask filled with a proper dram. All the groomsmen wanted to share. I didn't wish to be rude:

Dancing at the reception ensued:

The groom and his men changed to kilts for the reception. The bride forbade them at the wedding, but after was different. the groom and his attendants:

It was a lovely ceremony (after the damp start) and the reception was great fun. I was pleased to be a part of it.

Looks like a lovely event. What tartan were you wearing - it is very striking!

Great photos! I notice that the groom and his groomsmen didn't start smiling until after they were kilted.

It's Earl of St. Andrews Modern (damp). Eight yarder of 13 oz. wool from Rocky at USA Kilts.

Nice photos. While I'm sure the kilts made for a more comfortable reception, I would be willing to bet the dram or two shared by all, was helpful as well.
