Great photos, thanks for sharing. I'll echo Nighthawk by saying the black and white diced hose really look nice with that outfit. And I think the buckle brogues you are wearing are very appropriate (and look much nicer than ghillies would have). Your velvet sheriffmuir doublet also looks fantastic and I think the white silk cravat works very well as a "less fancy" alternative to the more usual lace jabot.

Good job!

Congrats - and for the others who have asked what to wear to a wedding, there are three examples of outfits in the group photo.

Wonderful photos. Congratulations to you both.

Thank you for the kind words, everyone. Some may remember my initial efforts at dressing myself and spot the changes I made based upon X-markers' feedback. Losing the ghillies and tartan flashes seemed, at the time, to be very minor, nitpicky details. But, man, what a newbie doesn't know! The mustard garter ties and buckle shoes brought everything together...my confident swagger that day was only partially due to the fact that I was marrying the loveliest, most inspiring lady I'd ever met; I also knew that I looked good. I almost feel like I need theme music to be playing when I walk around in my kilt!

You and your bride are visions of happiness and love my friend...but the little fellow with the mohawk is DA MAN! He's gonna be a little ladies man isn't he?

I think the buckle brogues work well because of the diced hose you're wearing. Overall, the five of you achieved a very well-put-together look, and done in different ways.
Congratulations to you and your new Mrs.

Now, where is the cake picture?

As my lead groomsman, my boy had a lot of responsibilities that day. So, to show how much faith we had in him, Laura and I let him choose his own hairstyle. Without missing a beat, the answer: "a blue mohawk!"

The blue hairspray (not pictured) didn't appear until after the ceremony. He is a compassionate, well-behaved and disciplined lad (for a five year-old), but he is definitely his own "man."

I am in trouble.

The woman who made and transported the cake failed to compensate for the simple physics which come into play while navigating hairpin turns on a mountain road.

It fell over in her van.

And when my wonderful bride saw this poor, (formerly beautiful) mangled cake, she just laughed her a** off. Did I get lucky, or what?!

Yes, you got lucky.
There is no contingency plan with a wedding cake. It either happens or it doesn't.

I'm delivering a birthday cake today. Thank goodness there are none of those tight turns between me and the customer.

Cake talk over. Back to kilt talk now.
