    With her family's permission it would be very appropriate to wear here tartan. Although I have three Scottish clan lines I also wear my wife's tartan as a way of showing respect for her and her clan.

    For something unique, you could get married in the regular attire (tux, suit or whatever), but immediately following the ceremony change into the kilt of your wife's family to symbolize your becoming part of it.

    A variation on Dixicat's idea would be to wear a Stillwater Black "Shadow Tartan" to be married in and between the ceremony and the picture slip in to a room and change into the tartan of your new family.

    And as before coordinate with her family.

    I think it might be interesting to get her permission (its the brides affair) to be married in the Black Shadow Tartan, but say nothing about changing to her family tartan afterward. As you leave the ceremony on the way to the receiving line, tell her you have to stop at the men's room. Do a quick change and see how long until she recognizes that you have changed kilts.

    Yes I am an evil demented man.
