I'm in this same situation. I'm viking and Scottish. I also avidly practice my culture heritage. and my boyfriend is from a very Christian background. So we at a loss on how because he doesn't want to discredit my background but at the same time he wants it so his family (insert all the rude in-law comments) feel comfortable

MT Studios guys, Viking was a profession, not a nationality. And Multiple groups in that area had the Viking trade, not just some thing done by the Danes or the Swedish or those from Norway. It's a broad term as is Norse.

Well kinda the same thing the vikings actually kinda took over ireland and scottland and then across the balkins and as far as africa soo kinda the same thing

When I was a kid in Glasgow we loved a scramble.

Definitely forgot hand fasting, having a ceilidh before the disco at the end and also every wedding evening buffet I’ve been to has stovies on offer 😂😂

In Indian weddings there's an engagement ceremony first (so the parents can confirm that they're on board with the wedding), and it's believed, since blue is a color of loyalty, that if the bride-to-be wears blue that something will happen to stop the wedding. Well, my engagement and wedding ceremonies were on the same day. I had to "sit" on my something blue in order to keep it, and it's the only time I've ever had to "sit" on something. Never kiss at an Indian wedding, by the way, which I'm glad to say I learned the easy way--beforehand.

M husband and I are planning a wedding renewal ( for our 30th wedding Anniversary) in the late summer and are going to have hand fasting as part of the ceremony.

such luck being born into such a wonderful culture, cheers ♥️

My fiancé is Scottish and we are so excited to have a Scottish wedding!!!

Im brazilian but my bf is scottish and i wanto mix our cultures in our wedding ceremony. Tnks for the vid and salut from Brasil 🇧🇷💚💛

In the American south (Louisiana specifically), we do cake pulls. They are these little charms with ribbons attached to them that each symbolize a different potential future (airplane= you will have a life of travel and adventure, chili pepper= you will have a red hot romance in your future, crab= you will be a crabby old lady... that sort of thing). The charms are placed under the wedding cake with only the ribbons poking out so no one knows which charm is where, then all the young single ladies/bridesmaids are invited to step up and choose a ribbon. They all pull them out at the same time and get their little fortune! Its a cute moment and a lot of fun. I've done it at a few different weddings, and plan to incorporate it into my own this summer!

Paying the piper wi a dram and a kiss. The guests stand and the piper pipes the couple into the hall to the head table. Then before they sit down, they pay the piper. As is the tradition, the piper can demand a dram as a fee if a man calls the tune and a kiss if its a woman who calls the tune. But the bride can no longer kiss another man. So what happens is the groom holds up the glass to his bride who kisses the glass and the groom hands it to the piper who gets a whiskey and a kiss in the same glass.

Tradition or not, pay the piper with cash please.

Bit late to the party but why no. I believe the reason Loch Lomond is so popular at weddings - besides just being a banging song - is that it’s a very beautiful love song between a man and his sweetheart. Essentially their is history to the song. Originally it was a poem about 2 Scottish soldiers that had been captured during the Jacobite rebellion. 1 was to be released, the other to face execution. So the one to be executed says to the other to take the high road home, while he’ll take the low road (in Celtic tradition the dead will always find their way back to their homelands under the ground after they die). So his words are to the man to live to return home to cherish his love, because he will no longer be able to cherish his sweetheart on the banks on Loch Lomond.

My great grandma moved from Scotland when she was 13 to Canada and she lost a lot of tradition, so my grandma and my mom don't really care for much besides tartans and I know when I get married I want to incorporate Scottish traditions so I can bring them back into my family or my family to come. And I'm really happy to know about the Loch Lomond thing because that's something I definitely didn't know and I'm glad I know now. Thanks so much for this video! You're amazing

My fiancé and I are both Scottish (Abernethy and Macleod of Lewis) and Scandinavian, and we’re having a traditional Scottish wedding with handfasting and some Norse traditions worked in. We will indeed be wearing our tartans… even my super obnoxious bumblebee lookin mess lol. Loving all of this info 💜

Some of the traditions mentioned are Irish too. And I think men wearing kilts are quite sharp looking too.. I definitely agree with you.😉

Try to look up about Indian weddings if you love various traditions. They are the most beautiful, colorful and expensive and many days long weddings.

Scramble in Edinburgh is called Poor Oot ,

As a tenor drum player in a pipeband, when you hit the drum, it’s always right stick first 🤷🏻‍♀️

I'm in clan Forbes, and I've been trying to figure out how to incorporate the dark blue-green tartan in with our pastel theme. I love to idea of hiding it somewhere on my groom and myself, thanks for the idea!

Im getting ready to do my renewal of vows im scottish (henderson) and of course my husband whos Campbell clan. We will do our vows at the door of the kirk and also use the loving cup aswell and pinning the tartan im very excited it will be 15 years soon for us 😊👍 i think the sash is a earasaid?

This is such a lovely video, and you have a lot of knowledge of your wonderful culture. My fiance and I are American but both happen to have Irish roots and are hoping to respectfully incorporate Irish traditions throughout the ceremony. We couldn't find a Reedy tartan but we did choose a lovely tartan that incorporates our wedding colors of red, gold and green. We're planning to incorporate the same colors in the handfasting cords. We're also having my dad put the lucky penny in my shoe before I walk the aisle. We understand we're not native to the culture, but hold a lot of love and respect for ancestors :). Thank you for the insightful video!

When you do an update, share the tradition of drinking from a quaich. 😊

Blimey, this lassie is too full-on for me!

I love your accent

I know this video was 2 years ago, so I don’t know if the correction was ever made. The “sash” you spoke of is the fly plaid.

I am part Scottish (but born English to English parents) and my clan is Blair. Even though I don’t have any family I know of in Scotland i have a Blair tartan kild xD

You are absolutely gorgeous! 💯

Being Scottish, I have thought about how to incorporate my family history into my wedding if I ever have one. As for the Kilts! Way to go!. As for the thistle, the first story is more reasonable.

Scotts accent is more pronounced than irish, yet they are still more comprehensible than irish

My dads paternal side and my moms maternal great grandmothers family is also Scottish. My clan is Campbell of Cawdor my surname is Caudill

Im Scottish,french,polish,and a bit of Mexican and i love to understand other cultures especially what i came from

Us Geordies do this too we call it "the hoy oot"

Wish i could have met a Scotish lady.

Hi ! Nice video (I'm a casual watcher on youtube). French with no scottish lineage here, I wear the traditionnal kilt and this is a true happyness which should really be used in everyday life (if possible and if the wearer likes), yes scottish soft power. On your point n°6, correct me if I'm wrong, but the groom wears or can wear (if he chooses to wear a kilt for his wedding) a fly plaid. The sashe is typically worn by women, with 3 or 4 different ways to wear it (depending of the rank in the clan, if the woman is married...) On 7, I can see a "scottish soft power" in the background. Because clans, like the Ramsey, accept people from the outside. It's really interesting to meet other different people in the clan. About the picky choice, tartans are mostly unrestricted except the balmoral (restricted to the British Royal Family) and some from universities/armies.

The sixpence one is still around bc I was given a lucky sixpence by my grandmother to wear in my shoe for my wedding. The marriage didn’t work out tho so so much for that 😂

I recently got engaged to a South African who's grandparents were born in Scotland. I really want to include his history with mine (Dutch, French) in our wedding. Is there any dances or something small and cute that I can do that won't take over the wedding, but still shows his family that I respect it? O, and, by the way, I liked your video 2 seconds in. You are so cute and I love this video!

There are loads of fun Ceilidh dances that we tend to do - I’d do a little gay Gordons - it’s probably the most sensible

I think the six pence tradition is Irish,at least as far as I know ;) but of course I am wrong too XD

Just gone back to my Scottish maiden name of Stewart :)

I think Spain also has flags but for their surname which is probably what you mean by clan, I'm Mexican but I know my flag cause you know history xD, but I don't know any traditions with them. Also don't the Irish also do the sixpence tradition?

I Love you

The sixpence is because if you wanted to object to a wedding you had to throw a sixpence in front of the bride. If the bride couldn't match the sixpence then the wedding had to stop. Wedding dresses don't have pockets so carrying a sixpence in your shoe ment that if someone tried to stop your wedding out of spite you had the funds to keep the wedding going.

I have a question. My fiance is half scottish, his mom is scottish. Her maiden name is of such a small clan that at some point we were told became part of a bigger one. We were trying to look up her clan tartan but can't because of above explanation. So if he wanted to wear a kilt at our wedding is it offensive to just where any pattern? Or better not wear one because the tartan can't be found? Thanks. :)

@@valariepriest5740 There are some generic tartans that are considered open to everyone, like the Black Watch tartan, the Royal Stewart tartan and others. If your family clan is a sept of another clan, you can wear that clan's tartan. For example my family doesn't have it's own tartan but we are septs of Macleod so we can wear the Macleod tartan.

A piper? As in someone playing the bagpipes. They’re usually a big part of weddings, piping when the bride comes, and piping the bride groom and family to the top table.

I bought my nieces silver sixpence to put in their shoes.

My Scottish friend told me that people running at each other was true. (She showed me a screenshot of this girlfriend talking about her Brit boyfriend's reaction about it. He called it a "scottish mosh pit" and I'm like "I want to see.")
