My Fiance and I are getting Married this May, The Piper we have Hired has suggested that we may want to choose some of the tunes he will play on the day ( we have a five minute walk from chapel to ballroom led by the Piper )
The problem is, we don't know where to start. Can anyone help by suggesting some tunes that would be suitable for a wedding.

From "So I Married an Axe Murder," the timeless "If you think I'm Sexy."
Sleepaway Camp's wonderful "She wants my beef bologna"
In weddings I like Highland Cathedral; Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring; She Walks Through the Fair; Fannie Power; Endearing Young Charms. Hector the Hero and Loch Lomond are pretty tunes but not traditional wedding tunes. However, no one will ever know so just pick tunes that you think sound nice. Your piper will have many suggestions and can play them for you. A good piper will always try to honor your requests, but keep in mind that many tunes just don't go well on Highland Pipes, i.e., anything by Celine Dion or Whitney Houston.
Good luck!

Stick to traditional Scottish 4/4 s. I do Weddings most weeks, and people want tunes that they can identify with, and tunes they probably know.
There is nothing more boring to the public as a whole (other than pipers) than playing boring heavy tunes.

Cheers, D Wilson,Aberdeen<
"Meeting of the Waters", "Rab's Wedding", "Lochanside"
are all nice choices.
The last wedding I played I used "The Piper's Waltz" and "Just Biding My Time"....can't for the llife of me remember the name of the tune I stuck between them.
"Up to the Line" might work as well....
Good Luck!

For a walk between venues, you definitely want to keep moving, 5 minutes can turn into 15 very easily, and remember, you won't be able to really talk while the piper is playing--very loud.
I suggest Highland Wedding-- a great 2/4 march. It will sound of celebration, and get you where you are going without tedium.
