    Here are just a few off the top of my head:

    Mairie's Wedding
    Morag of Dunvegan
    Brown haired maiden
    Believe me if all those enduring young charms
    Kerry Dances

    The last two were both played in "The Quiet Man", btw.

    Great idea, btw -- now learn the first verse of "My Love is Like a Red, Red Rose" by Burns and recite it to her -- gets 'em every time.

    Regards,

    Todd

    If you really want to get her SING IT! I believe it was meant to be song (Burns was both a collector and writer of songs, not just poems).

    If it was good enough for Pat Boone...

    Cheers

    I agree with Jaime, but, find someone with small pipes and sing it to her if you can. GHB's are hard to sing over. Or, get them to stand off a bit from the tent if you can't find someone with small pipes. either way I am sure she will love it. Congratulations to you and you lovely bride.

    I second tunes 1 & 2 above. It is to be special, I would stay away from "cliche" tunes personally.
    Did I read right that someone suggested Green Hills of Tyrol? Come on...
