Kilted to an Indian Wedding.

[PiobBear]

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.

... Seeing Beuth Sim smile .... priceless

My thoughts precisely. Never thought I'd see the day. .. :) .. Must say, like to see that more often.

Buying a Nightstalker kilt $100
Getting the rest of the outfit $500
Seeing Beuth Sim smile priceless

I happen to know he didn't pay $100 for that Nightstalker...

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...

Looks like a great time. Good mix of cultures.

Yeah, every one of them said something nice about my kilt and how nice it was that I took pride in my heritage.

No I didn't. The shirt was $40, the tie $20, the Jacket was $5.00. so I probably have about $125.00 in my ensemble, not including kilt pin and hose. The shoes are my old shiny Bates from Air Force ROTC.

As for the smile, hmm... Mighta been the Johnny walker red or the Champaign. Nahh, it was just my wife. I have never been use to smiling.

Looks like you all had a wonderful time.
