    Congratulations on your upcoming nuptials. Looks good. One question though, regarding the photo taken outside. It looks like you have a card of some sort on the instep of the right shoe. Is it really a card or just a reflection in the lens?

    I should like to add my congratulations on your forthcoming marriage also.

    Regarding the kilt pin: each of my kilts has its own pin and once placed and pinned correctly, it is not removed unless the kilt is being cleaned. Constant pinning and unpinning will soon damage the fabric since it is almost impossible to site the pin in precisely the same position time after time. Neither the pin nor the kilt will take any harm if the pin is left in situ during storage.

    Take care,
    Ham.

    You're right! It will damage if repeatedly pinned and unpinned --- I own only one kilt pin (a sword) and I'm borrowing a celtic knot pin. ANd I move them around my several kilts. My denim kilt is taking the most damage ---eeek!!! I can see the white spots where the pins go through. I may have to go without a pin.
