I heard a story that Paddy Keenan, uileann piper with the Bothy Band played a wedding once and would not let anyone in on his planned tune for the brides entrance......the reason being he intended to play "The Hag With The Money".

.. or one of inappropriate tunes for weddings? Two for starters: my wife plays harp for such functions, and the "Titanic" film theme was much in demand for a while...so you're going to watch your husband drown in the ice, Hmmm? Then someone requested "She moves through the Fair". They obviously hadn't read all the words... or perhaps they had!
