We are planning to go the local Burns night dinner. We have been before and have a great time.

My lovely bride of almost 30 years will be wearing a sash in her family tartan (Douglas).
I will be in my PC and Leatherneck kilt.
I am the state commander of a veterans group (Marine Corps League).

What are the 'by the book rules' for a wife wearing a sash - right vs left?
I doubt it would strictly apply since she is not wearing Leatherneck.

Ultimately I am an American and we tend to make up our own rule as we go but...
