colquhoun / calhoun arms?

[creagdhubh]

I beg of you, MacLowlife, rather use the crest, which any Colquhoun or Calhoun may display, rather than the arms, even if you render them in embossed form.
You will no doubt hear from the baronet, expressing similar sentiments, but I do urge you to tackle things the proper way.
If a close relative of the bride (preferably her father or grandfather) has a matriculation of the chief’s arms with suitable differences, this might be more appropriate, but an annexation of someone else’s arms, especially those of the clan chief, is just not on.
Regards,
Mike
