it's supposed to be a white wedding right?

I saw a large poster-sized photograph of an outfit much like that in a kilt hire shop in Glasgow in 2004.

It had a white Prince Charlie, white waistcoat, white bow tie, white kilt, white fur sporran, white hose, white flashes, and... wait for it... black ghillies.

What a pity to get so close to glorious hideous perfection, only to come up short! One would have thought that they could have found a pair of white ghillies somewhere.

This one is strange, what with the black flashes. Whatever were they thinking?

What if we made these amendments...

1. Black braiding and piping on the jacket (still a white jacket)
2. Black tassels on the sporran
3. Black fringe on the kilt's apron.

Would anyone like it then or would it still be 'hideously white'?

It would still be hideous...

Replace the white kilt with something- anything- else, and it would be a lot better. Really, it's the stark white kilt that gets me. It needs something to break it up!

I think apart from the fact that white stays white for about 30 seconds in my experience, that about the only person i can see pulling it off is a celebrity...
