Ideas for non-religious music for bagpipes?

kentishbride, 21 December, 2008 at 13:29 Posted on Planning 0 5

We are having a civil ceremony and are hoping to have a piper for my entrance and for our exit as man and wife. Any ideas? IO love Ava Maria but my other half thinks that this is a religious piece?

Any links or ideas would be fab ,

TIA x

    We had highland cathedral walking down the aisle, i wanted "the gift of a thistle" from braveheart as i thought it was very appropriate as i am scottish and my h is english. Due to numerous reasons i settled for highland cathedral and signed the register to the gift of a thistle. THere is versions of both on you tube, iv found highland cathedral http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=I3GyhyDkiLA&feature=related, this is played by a band but played by a lone piper its fab and very haunting!

    Mhari's Wedding and Mull of Kintyre would be my choices.

    She moved through the fair is about about a bride who dies before the wedding and haunts her bridegroom lol.

    i'd go for mhairi's wedding myself.
