15th Anniversary
It's hard to believe but my wife and I have been married almost 15 years! We went out this weekend to celebrate and I decided to wear my kilt along with a herringbone blue tweed jacket. Didn't think to get any pictures while we were out but grabbed a quick one at home.

Thanks!
I stumbled on the jacket last year as a pipe band was selling some stuff for a fundraiser. Almost a perfect fit and in almost new condition.

Congratulations to you both.
Looking at your top picture a thought occurs to me. Please I am not being critical, but now that fifteen years of "water has gone under the bridge" and with added kilt attire knowledge from your time on this website, would you advise people today on their Big Day to wear the same style of outfit that you were wearing on your Big Day?

Every time I look at the wedding pictures, I cringe a little bit at how I was dressed and there are certainly things I would change. It was a late afternoon/early evening wedding with an evening reception so I'd likely stick with the Prince Charlie (plus my wife wanted black tie for the wedding party). So, based on that, here are the changes I'd make:
Shirt - I had both turnover and wingtip tux shirts in my closet and went with the wingtips based on the fact that I thought they were more correct for evening wear.
Bow tie - this was pre-tied; for some reason, I thought tying a bow tie was too hard so I had a pre-tied one.
Belt - I bought the kilt but rented the jacket and the rental place told me I needed a belt; not knowing any better, I did what they suggested.
Hose - again, rental shop suggested cream so that's what I wore. Instead I would go with diced or tartan hose.
Flashes - tartan flashes that came with the kilt; these days with my tartan hose I wear red flashes.
