From the very beginning: I need advice!

9 - Not sure what a "deluxe" kilt is. I'm guessing those particular stores sell a "less-than-deluxe" kilt, and have to denote the difference.

10 - There are acrylic kilt hose. Even most woolen ones are really a blend. I've never had a problem with comfort, as opposed to the old woolen hunting socks they used to make.

11 - David and Doc gave good suggestions. On a typical kilted day, I've got a wallet, my keys and a small Crown Royal bag to keep small items, like change, together. You might not need any of that stuff on your wedding day. Never carried a flask, but many people enjoy having a dram so close at hand.

[bad Homer Simpson impression]MMmmm...dram close at hand....*garraawwwlll* [/bad Homer Simpson impression]

I'll be having a flask close at hand at my upcoming nuptials, but have been made to promise I won't touch the thing until the wife and I are in the limo on the way to the reception.

Of course, my best man will have his own and there were no promises made about having a wee sip from his flask! ;)

Q10: try out your kilt hose before the big day. If they really bother you, try out Freelander's suggestion. I personally think kilt hose are very comfortable.

Q11: Chewing gum/ Tic Tac, ID, Credit cards/bank cards.

And good luck.

Try not to obsess over this too much, but make it fun.

Either way, it'll be a great experience.

LOL!! :-D

In that case, you might want to have breath freshener or mints to your sporran!!

From one Murray to another CONGRATS!

Here is a picture from my wedding last March.

I didn't have a full dress sporran because that is what came with the rental of the Prince Charlie, vest and belt.

I did not wear the belt after learning not to when wearing a vest/waist coat..

I chose not to go with Ghillies because I didn't want to mess with the laces!

I chose off white hose, because the white just seem a little to bright. I had to special order them due to calf size.. I figured I would get more wear out of the off white. I worried about itching too..... It's not a problem at all..

I ordered a 13oz hand sewn in the Murray of Atholl - modern.

Definitely get your wife to be a sash! I presented my wife with her sash, at the alter, after we were pronounced man and wife, because at the point she is now a Murray and part of my/our clan. My wife cherishes it. Don't forget an nice broach for the sash.

I wore black boxer briefs...... I would highly suggest you wear something underneath! If the ladies have a little curiosity and then you add in some adult beverages… You will feel the breeze… It’s better to be safe. At least on that day…

Best of luck!

As a single guy, (so far) and new to kilts, I don't have any advice for weddings kilted or not. I am asking the people in charge to consider saving the advice offered so far as a referance for others to use in the future.(Edited of course). It's added to my fund of knowledge and certainly others.I'm sure a lot of people will get married in a kilt after reading through this. I wish you both all the best in your marriage and the days ahead. As for accessories-have you considerd leg irons? :smile: Again, all the best.
