It was a normal practice in ancient times an entire people to participate in the preparations for the 'big day'. People line the streets of the church to cheer the happy couple before taking their vows. In pre-Reformation, there is evidence that two Scottish wedding services often take place. A priest in the party leadership in the Scottish dialect and lead a ceremony outside the church. While the Latin Mass more formal wedding ceremony will be held inside.

The exchange of rings has always been a main feature in Scottish wedding ceremonies since ancient times. A ring has no beginning or end, and as such symbolizes love in marriage. Kiss the bride comes from this exchange of rings, and often leads to a joy of the church body.

Following the formal church ceremony, a piper or a group of pipers often take the entire group of people on the streets, often at a relative's home for a night of non-stop party, celebration and fun . Local musicians led by pipers who began dancing and tradition says that the first dance, usually a reel, would involve the newly wed couple. As a result of their efforts, the rest of the guests danced to the final hours of the SMA. In this sense, little has changed over 800 years - maybe apart from the clothing and the type of beer.
