The Bride's A Bonnie Wee Thing
This tune is also known as "My Wife's a Wanton Wee Thing" amongst pipers and is played in A Mixolydian: dropping the G# and D# out of this setting gives you the basic piper's setting. The Battlefield Band play this tune on one of their many albums.

Da Bride's a Bonnie Ting
This Shetland wedding march has no relation to "My Wife's a Winsome / Wanton Wee Thing"

although if, as ceadach says, pipers play "Da Bride's a Bonnie Ting" and call it "My Wife's a Wanton Wee Thing", I've not heard of this.
