威尔基选择描写一种在苏格兰很常见的结婚仪式，客人们每人付一分钱来支付费用，剩下的都用来支付新家的费用。这个主题已经众所周知，大卫·艾伦（1744-96）在新不伦瑞克弗雷德里顿比弗布鲁克美术馆的一幅画中处理过。这个话题的意思似乎是，没有比这更富有的夫妇能比这更幸福、更可爱、更亲切、更英俊，也没有新娘的父亲能比这更慷慨、更热情地款待整个社会。钱肯定买不到比尼尔·高更好的小提琴手（1727-1807），这里可以清楚地认出；罗伯特·伯恩斯（Robert Burns）对他的“善良的开放，加上不信任的简洁”的描述，可能可以概括出威尔基在整个场景中的意图。

Wilkie chose to depict a type of marriage ceremony, common in Scotland, where the guests each paid a penny towards the expenses and anything left over went towards the couple’s new home. The subject was already known, having been treated by David Allen (1744-96) in a painting in Beaverbrook Art Gallery, Fredericton, New Brunswick. The idea of the subject would seem to be that no richer couple could be happier, more loving, gracious and handsome, and no father of the bride could offer hospitality more generous and convivial than this, laid on by the community as a whole. Money certainly couldn’t buy a better fiddler than Niel Gow (1727-1807), clearly recognisable here; Robert Burns’s description of his ‘kind open-heartedness, mixed with unmistrusting simplicity’ would probably sum up Wilkie’s intention in the scene as a whole.
