Would you like your wedding to be in Scottish Gaelic?

Weddings written and performed in Scottish Gaelic (and in English too!)
by Tris King (Toirstean MacRobainn), Minister, ULC

Do any of these sound like you?

You'd like to have some Scottish Gaelic in your wedding ceremony, but you have no idea where to begin.

You'd like an experienced wedding official to officiate at your wedding who is familiar with Scottish Gaelic and can work with you on it.

You'd like to be able to participate in and contribute to the creation of your ceremony, rather than simply being told where to move and what to say.

You'd like your vows to be in Scottish Gaelic, but you don't know:
a) how to write them, or
b) how to pronounce them.

Let your wedding have the Scottish Gaelic flavor that you've dreamed of! Collaborate with your official on creating a a truly Scottish Gaelic wedding! Have a little Gaelic in it, a lot of Gaelic, or have it all in Gaelic!

You may choose to have your ceremony reflect traditional sources, such as a Church of Scotland Gaelic ceremony, or you may choose a non-traditional approach that may include new age, earth-based, secular, or other non-sectarian aspects.
