Scottish wedding traditions dates back to the thirteenth century. The couples were required to announce their marriage on marriage banns in church for three successive Sundays. Finally now the banns give away to simple announcement of intent to get married and secure the marriage license.
The other custom includes 'creeling the bridegroom'. This ritual requires the bridegroom to carry a large basket filled with stones on his back. He has to carry the basket as long as his proposed bride comes out of her house and kiss him.
The bride flaunt white wedding gown while the groom gets decked up in traditional Highland kilt, kilt jacket and sporran. The couple is led down the isle by playing traditional Gaelic hymns.
