Another Wedding Thread
Hello gents,
My long time partner thankfully accepted my proposal last month, and now the planning begins. With her being Scottish by birth, and myself through ancestry, we have decided to get married in Scotland. Found a great castle to get married at, saving some being on a summer weekday. As it is part of the National Trust, will be an evening event starting at 6:30pm. The main question becomes the level of formality.
She is by far the least picky bride when it comes to what I want to wear, but I would like to dress appropriately for the occasion and setting. My current kilt is a Braemar jacket and vest in Lomond Blue, with an Isle of Skye tartan. This will not be a black tie affair, and most other gentleman will be in highland attire.
Is an argyll jacket more appropriate than a PC? I don't attend many formal events, but like to go kilted when appropriate.
If I go with a new kilt, it will be my family's, Clan Graham. Is there a formality difference when choosing a modern, ancient, or weathered version?
Unsure on if I should include service ribbons or medals. I served with 2 other Marines attending, so thoughts on them wearing are also appreciated.
I've decided on a new set of oxfords, leaving the ghillies to the piper. Sporran will be one of my 4 formal acquisitions (I blame OC Richard.) A bit long winded, but I appreciate the knowledge and effort that goes into this community.
