I'd never heard of a quaich (quaigh/quoich) until I had a couple with Scottish roots ask me if we could add it to their wedding ceremony.

"Uh, yeah! Of course... sure we can do that! ...What is it? And how do you spell it...?"

Are you wondering how to add a quaich to the wedding ceremony for your couple?

Technically, a quaich (pronounced "quake", but with more saliva) is a style of cup or bowl that traditionally originates in Scotland. So really, we would properly call this a quaich wedding ritual or something like that. But let's go with the shorthand: this ritual takes on the name of the object that it's centred around - the quaich.

So we'll call this ritual a quaich. The same way we call a toast... a toast.

Now, as with every single topic around wedding elements, there are 21,000,000 ways to do a quaich. But here's the wonderful thing about officiating weddings in the zeitgeist that is "millennials getting married" in the 21st century: couples nowadays are just not as interested in following traditions and rituals down to the letter and the finest detail. That's good news for us officiants terrified of "screwing it up!"

Couples are more interested in the spirit of the thing. They want to preserve the elements and its meanings with less concern for the pomp and circumstance.

So, is my way the single, proper way to do a quaich? Maybe not. For that, track down your BFF's Scottish grandma.

On the other hand, is this a beautiful, simple, meaningful way to include a quaich in the wedding ceremony? Have I done it several times this way and has it worked out? Will it give our couple and their guests that fun and moving experience we're all hoping for? You betcha! (Or should I say, "Aye!" No. No, I probably shouldn't.)

This video will teach you how to add a quaich to your wedding ceremony.
