I had the pleasure of piping for the groom before his wedding in Brampton. I wasn’t too familiar with Indian wedding traditions, but from what I experienced, they like to go all out.
For his entrance to the pre-wedding ceremony events, the groom arrived via helicopter, touching down in the venue’s parking lot.
I then piped the groom and some of his family and friends from the helicopter into the lobby of the banquet hall where they continued with formal introductions by exchanging garlands of flowers.
On another occasion, I gained firsthand knowledge of Indian music when I collaborated with a couple of dhol drummers for an engagement party.
