I don't want to influence your future relationship with either your brother or future sister-in-law.
A number of years ago my brothers, our children and I had a special weave of our family tartan and had 11 kilts in all made. We also had a few ties made. My twin brother's new wife has never let him wear his new kilt, if fact the last time I saw it a couple of years ago it still had the basting stitches in it. I have seen him wear the tie. They live some distance away, but when we get together, I make sure I am kilted, because I know how much she likes them. Did I wear it to their wedding, no, I wasn't invited (nor was the rest of the family).
All this being said, I would advise keeping the peace at the wedding.

I may rent a jacket, or perhaps find a vest/waistcoat only from somewhere.
A v-neck sweater or vest can work quite well too.

Not sure if you are still leaning towards an Argyll jacket. While it's not my most used jacket, I did wear this outfit to a nephew's wedding:
Permission was not required for the kilt. Sartorial eccentricity is accepted in the family.
Hope you get your jacket on time.

You look very sharp, JohntheBiker! I have ordered an Argyll jacket off eBay, and am hoping with expedited shipping to have it in time.

Just a postscript, but you may want to invest in a matching 5 button waistcoat, as well. It would add a lot of flexibility to the look.

I have ordered a matching 5 button waistcoat and Argyll jacket this morning.

This! IMO a vest and fabulous tie looks very sharp and is a more than acceptable level of dress for a typical wedding.
