More Wedding Advice

Well, if it were me, and my bride demanded that I spend thousands of dollars on kit that I was never in my lifetime going to wear again for that one day, I would put up a fuss. However, this is really not the case, here. You can get a very nice Prince Charlie for a couple of hundred dollars, and then you have it.

I'm assuming that you already have a nice, wool kilt. If not, then that's where the $$$ goes, first, IMHO.

I also happen to wear a hunting sporran for my more dressy occasions. I'm not keen on the thwapp-thwapp of tassels bumping around when walking, so most of my sporrans don't have tassels. Even if you go to the upper end of stocked hunting sporrans with metal cantles, you're still only spending perhaps $250. It will last a lifetime. So all things considered, a Prince Charlie and a nice hunting sporran are a perfectly reasonable way to dress nicely for your wedding, IMHO.

BTW, there will be people who will pitch a fit over wearing a Prince Charlie in the daytime. They're EVENING wear, they will scream, whilst making comments about the collapse of all decency and morality, and referring to the good old days when people knew better. All this while, they will give you some sort of "internet sideways look", noses in the air. I would suggest that you pay no mind to these people. If your lass wants you to wear a Prince Charlie, then wear a Prince Charlie, and enjoy your day.
