Pipers at weddings

[Meggers]

Hi lads,

I booked the venue this morning and it's stunningly beautiful. The place is two levels and is decorated like an old Southern home. The date of my wedding will be December 28, 2013 and the venue will be covered in evergreen, candles, and all the wonderful winter decorations. There is a big library with a large fireplace and large windows where the ceremony will take place, a HUGE ceiling high Christmas tree that will be in the parlor where guests will walk in, and then a large room where we will eat with an enclosed balcony made of windows overlooking a gorgeous thick wooded area that will look great with the snow. The basement is all wood paneling and it will be a great area for dancing, kids playing, and bridal party getting ready before the ceremony. The upstairs, after the ceremony, will have the food, chai and cider bar, mingling, and a small orchestra playing while everyone mingles.

NOW I am ready to look for my piper. The venue has the charm of a home so Id love to have the piper playing at the door, but I cant bring myself to ask any human being to stand outside in a kilt in the dead of winter in Wisconsin and stand still. No way. I am not a cruel bride and I really dont want to put any poor soul through that torture. So, I am thinking I will have him standing inside of the door. He will look really swell next to the large Christmas tree too

The actual ceremony will be in Milton, WI. Do any of you guys know of any pipers that you could recommend, or if YOU might want to be the piper who plays?

I am on cloud 9 right now. I couldnt have found a more perfect place and I just cant stop picturing how gorgeous it's going to be. We are going to have a nikkah (contract signing) at this fabulously gorgeous mosque the day before, then go and do the rehearsal and dinner. Then, the next day, we will have the ceremony and reception No alcohol! haha. My grandfather was like "....what?....what do you mean no alcohol? They will have beer and wine, right?" poor man.
