Which tartan for an arisaid for a wedding?

[Rogerson785]

Normally a woman would wear her father's tartan, as she would legally retain his surname after marriage. She would be Mary McColl, Mrs. Angus Binns. That said, most women are and were more than happy to adopt their husband's tartan-- this showed her status as a married woman, not merely the common-law wife.

This may be far fetched and somewhat off topic, but could a man adopt his uncle’s tartan, specifically a lowlander adopting a highlander that has married into the family?

Without things getting silly here,or, technical,I would have to say that any connection is better than none. In the highlands here, no one minds one bit if you have no connection to a clan, as long as you are honest about it and stick to the ONE clan. So "it is my uncle's tartan" should be good enough reason for anyone.

Jock beat me to the punch, but his answer is 100% on target.
