Brogues are "wingtips" this side of the pond . The perforations in the decorative pieces are the "brogueing."

And ghillie brogues are tongueless versions generally worn with longer laces that are wrapped around the lower calf.

Brogues are just dress shoes. Ghillie Brogue is a type of dress shoe.

Thanks, guys. And here I thought I was being creative in wearing a pair of Rockport wingtips I got on sale!

Brogues are fine, I must say I'm glad you have decided to go for an Argyll jacket.

Remember the first rule of attending someone else's wedding---do not steal ANY attention from the Bride, it is her day, and the groom's for that matter. So if you are going kilted try to stay low key in your activity and visibility so as not to distract other guests away from their attention to the lovely couple, especially if it is NOT an otherwise kilted wedding.

And if you're going to stuff hors d'oeuvres in your sporran, make sure you don't get anything that's too squishy or runny.
