Congratulations to you both of making your 20th Anniversary. Well done!
As for your choice: I'd agree with those ahead of me - The Highland Granite is a beautiful tartan which can be worn formally or informally. The Saltire, on the other hand, whilst holding a slight attraction for me, is something of a 'novelty' tartan. I have seen it being worn and it is truly effective when those pleats are swinging, but I still see it as a 'fun' kilt and not one to be taken seriously.

Congratulations on your Anniversary!
The Highland Granite Tartan will make a very attractive kilt you will enjoy and receive compliments on for years to come. A kilt is an investment for the long haul.

Granite, it's beautiful.
I hate calling the Saltire faddish or novelty but the granite will work for more situations.
Granite is my second next choice for my own kilt goals.

As much as I'm attracted to the Saltire, I know I'd wear the Granite more, and in more places.
Bryan...Happy Anniversary!...

 Granite, yes!
Congratulations on the 20th.
I have to agree with Mat and Hamish. The Saltire is too fadish. As Hamish points out, the Granite is very versitile.

Have you guys seen the saltire kilt in person? It is truely awesome--too awesome to be a mere fad, I think. The effect of the swishing pleats is mesmerizing. You can't go wrong with either kilt, but the price of the saltire one might be a deterrent.
