From the very beginning: I need advice!

Congrats, Murray! Here's a picture from my own wedding, two years ago.



Prince Charlie jacket and vest; fly plaid with a brooch over the left shoulder; tux shirt (I LIKE the winged collar, Todd :grin: ) with bowtie, studs and cufflinks; dress sporran (mine is white rabbit fur); your kilt, of course (a real 8-yard woolen tank, even if you have to rent one!); white hose (only for a wedding - off white or darker for anything else); sgian dubh in the right sock (unless you're left-handed): flashes in either matching tartan or a color that compliments your kilt; and shoes. I'm wearing black wingtips in this pic because I did not yet own ghillie brogues. Most folks will tell you not to wear a kilt belt and buckle with the Prince Charlie, but I think the outfit looks unfinished without it.

If you buy your own kilt, buy your bride a matching sash and place it over her right shoulder as part of the ceremony. Yes, it's on the left shoulder of my bride in the picture below, but that's because I suffered a momentary brain fart,


Again, congrats. I'm still waiting for my bride to emerge from the mental illness that caused her to marry ME.
