What is a good Scottish love song for a wedding (to be sung a cappella)?

I need a Scottish love song which can be sung a cappella as a friend of mine walks down the aisle at her wedding (in a Scottish castle). Aae Fond Kiss is the right style but lyrics are about separation, so not particularly apt! Suggestions please anyone?

You need one long enough to let her get down the aisle and that has suitable words and a measure of dignity.

Cailin mo rùin-sa (Dearest my own one) by Donald Ross








Chorus:


Dearest my own one, oh won't you be mine,


Full of devotion, so modest and kind?


My heart's full of longing and yearning for you;


Come close to me, darling --- you know I'll be true.





1. How charming you were, dear, when first in the glen


I made your acquaintance, and ever since then


Without you I'm lonely; none other will do;


Those brown eyes enthralled me --- it had to be you.





2. I'll always remember that evening in May;


We rambled the woodlands and meadows so gay;


The chorus of song birds, how sweet their refrain,


'Midst fragrance of wild flow'rs refreshed by the rain.





3. Do you remember that moment of bliss,


So fondly embracing, the thrill of that kiss?


Since then you are mine, dear, the choice of my heart;


My promise I'll give you, that we'll never part.





Chorus:


Cailin mo rùin-sa is leannan mo ghràidh,


Ainnir mo chridh-sa 's i cuspair mo dhàin.


Tha m'inntinn làn sòlais bhi tilleadh gun dàil,


Gu cailin mo rùin-sa is leannan mo gràidh.





1. B'òg chuir mi eòlas air leannan mo ghràidh,


'S a rinn mise suas ri'sa ghleannan gu h-àrd;


A gnuis tha cho aoidheil, làn gean agus bàigh,


Is mise bhios cianail, mur faigh mi a làmh.





2. Gur tric sinn le chéile gabhail cuairt feadh an àit',


'S a falbh troimh na cluaintean gach bruachag is màgh;


Na h-eoin bheag le smudan a' seinn dhuinn an dàn,


'S toirt fàilte do'n mhaighdinn d'an d'thug mi mo ghràdh.





3. Bha mise làn aoibhneis nuair fhuair mi cheud phòg,


Bho'n chaileig ghrinn uasail tha aighearach òg.


'S e mo mhiann is mo dhùrachd, cho fad 's bhios mi beò,


A bhi pòsd' ris a' ghruagaich tha suairc agus còir.
Reply:Red, Red Rose would be a better choice than Ae Fond Kiss I think.

I first learned of it when I sang it in Chorus back in high school. There are many diffferent renditions of it and all of them are beautiful - there is a 4 part harmony that we sung.





Oh my luve is like a red, red rose,


That's newly sprung in June:


Oh my luve is like the melodie,


That's sweetly play'd in tune.


As fair art thou, my bonie lass,


So deep in luve am I;


And I will luve thee still, my dear,


Till a' the seas gang dry.


Till a' the seas gang dry, my dear,


And the rocks melt wi' the sun;


And I will luve thee still, my dear,


While the sands o' life shall run.


And fare thee weel, my only luve!


And fare thee weel a while!


And I will come again, my luve,


Tho' it were ten thousand mile!

Reply:What about the Proclaimers - I Would Walk (500 Miles). That's a great song.
