If the Corps allows it, and you want to do it, then represent your service with pride!
With the greatest of respect to all, but this is where civilian UK wedding attire and civilian Scottish wedding attire requirements differ to those from other countries. Decorations are not worn to a civilian wedding. To me, if you are wearing the kilt then one follows Scottish traditions and if you want to adjust those traditions to fit another set of traditions then don’t wear the kilt. It’s that simple. Sorry.
