These tunes are called the Bride’s Jig and the Wedding Dance. The first one is traditional, the second was composed by yours truly. Both are obviously perfect tunes to pipe couples out of the ceremony, as well as for any other moment after that.

This tune is called “Our Wedding Day”, or alternatively “She Moved Through the Fair”. It is traditionally Irish, and very popular as a pipe tune for brides to walk down the aisle.
