Kilted to an Indian Wedding.

Great pictures what a colourful lot you are, and is that a smile I see on your face, it must have been a wonderful celebration, thanks for sharing it with us, I am not sure if I will ever experience anything like that.

I piped once for an Indian/Irish, Catholic/Jewish wedding once (no; I'm not kidding). The bride was Indian and Catholic, the groom Irish & Jewish, they had a priest and a rabbi tag-team the service, then Mazel tov! In addition to my usual Irish repertoire, I piped Hava Nagila for them. With myself in my kilt & caubeen and wedding guests of every conceivable color, many in Sikh turbans, saris, or sherwani coats (and several yarmulkes), it had the flavor of a convocation of the UN. Both families were fantastically wealthy; I distinctly remember how the Indian folks would smile in the most open and friendly way to me, and the Americans completely ignored me like I was a servant holding the door for them.

Worship the music makers, those who turn dreams in to sound. Pay reverence to those who drown out the sorrows and worries in life to bring joy and eletation to a celebration. Give thanks to those that send our troubles away so that we might boogie down...
