A PIPER has been hit with a refund demand from a bride after he was spotted holding a pint in her wedding pictures.

Professional musician Craig Lawrie was accused of drinking on the wedding day and being unprofessional.

A furious Craig is refusing to hand back the money, insisting he was holding nothing more alcoholic than a blackcurrant and lemonade.

The 26-year-old from Glasgow went a step further by posting the bitter exchange on social media - together with pictures of his piping trophies.

His post has even been shared by Scots comedian Kevin Bridges, who wrote: State of this. Piper shows up, does his pipes and gets sent this. Seriously, get a life.

What a stupid bh!

I pity the new husband.

I doubt they'll be celebrating many anniversaries.

Boom! Head shot!

Craig is a really good piper,and an even better drummer.
He is in constant demand with his techno piping group???? Drums`n`Roses
I have seen him perform with Dunoon/Cowal pipe band on a number of occasions.
Anyone who thinks that a piper should not have a drink is a deluded moron.
At our village fete,the piper left from outside our house at midnight and walked the mile up to the village hall,when he was leaving he was given his traditional nip. Nearly a half pint of whisky. At the end of the walk his piping was better than the start....
Craig is in this you tube video.

Did the bride actually pay him herself?

I thought whoever pays the piper is the one who calls the tune....

Absolutely, a taste of what is to come for him perhaps?

I would suspect it would be the done thing to buy him a pint later.

I would love to think this story is made up given the content.

What an absolute moron - I wish they had published her full name and picture.

I do not think so, if yo have an arsebook account, you can see that he mentions it on there.

Any decent members of their family must be cringing.

Her last response to his measured, calm and well spelt response shows alot about her.

I pity her new husband, she just comes across as some spoilt little girl who is used to getting her own way, however in this instance she hasn't.

It seems she wasn't happy for him to have a drink at all, the whole time he was there!

Stupid cow

1st thing I did for the band was organise drinks & food for them, on my tab!

I imagine this is what "normal" people do...

Goodness only knows what the lady in question was thinking.

She doesn't complain that he "piped" poorly........

Do you think he (the husband) has any idea?

What a truly abhorrent person.

surely the big problem was hiring a piper in the first place. I mean: bagpipes. For pleasure??

I worked in a hotel for a year, which had a lot of weddings at it. On a few occasions, 3 in a day

This is exactly what the vast majority of people did, and the ones that didn't made a point of buying the piper or the band a drink or two in the evening.

The woman in question here sounds like a spoiled cow looking to scrounge some money back. Feel sorry for the new husband more than anything.

How can a grown woman, who one would presume had at least 12 years of school, be so utterly ste at spelling.
