What’s a Scottish event without bagpipes and kilts? Weddings are no exception. Although modern Scottish weddings are quite similar to Western weddings, the kilts and bagpipes seem to be a tradition holds strong through time. If you’ve ever heard beautiful bagpipe music, you know that there is a magic in it. You can’t help but get caught up in the mood of the music and festivities.

From my own personal “kilt viewing” experience, I must lend some advice though. If you choose to have a Scottish wedding and are having any of the activities outdoors where there’s a possibility of wind, you may want to request the men attending in kilts to wear shorts underneath. Even to this modern day, the true traditional kilt wearers tend to go “commando”.  If you happen to be a commando kilt wearer, for the sake of wedding etiquette and the comfort of the other guests, I beg of you, please follow this advise.

As for some old traditions or superstitions that are no longer as common…
It used to be believed that the bride would have bad luck if she saw a hare on the way to the church. Yet a spider or wolf was considered good luck. Wouldn’t you think it would be the other way around? That’s something definitely worthy or researching out.

That’s all for now. Until next time, have a lucky day!
