I will be wearing an Argyll, since it's before 5pm. Unfortunately, I wasn't really familiar with traditional Scottish dress when I was ordering, and just went by the packages I saw online, and a few photos. The fly plaid was mostly to distinguish me from my brother/best man who will be in almost the exact same outfit, AND because I'm the groom, so we wanted to go one step up. At first there was to be no boutonniere for me, but apparently my fiancee forgot about that when she and her aunt were making things and now I'm in the pickle. I told her that I would wear the boutonniere and not the fly plaid, and she got upset because the fly plaid cost a pretty penny.

So really I'm in a no-win here.

What I ended up telling her is that, while it's over the top and a little ridiculous to wear both, I would do it for her.

Me: "I'll look like a fool, I'll look ridiculous, I'll look stupid for you. But just remember, you're the one who has to live with your family always thinking you married a fool."

Her: "I can live with that."

Me: "Good, because if I'm going down, I'm taking you with me."


So, it's resolved. It'll look silly, but like I told her before bed. I love her, and if it means that much to her, it's worth it. Hopefully I won't look like a Christmas tree.
