WEDDING, THE. AKA - "San Rire va Vannich." Scottish, Strathspey (cut time). A Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. Michael Newton, writing in his blog "The Origins of the Strathspey: A Rebuttal" [1] believes the correct Scots Gaelic title of Cumming's “San Rire va Vannich" should be "S ann a-raoir a bha a’ bhanais."
