Agreed. Don't you love the way the colours of the tartan are reflected in the jacket, tie, puff, hose, and flashes?

I suppose you would like me to don a flat tweed cap too?
Well no, never, ever, even if h*+l freezes over and I am well into my dotage,------well alright, even further into my dotage------ it still will not happen!

The general run of the dress for persons in my age bracket will likely be smart day wear to business suit with some more dressed than others. The wedding is at 4:00pm with the reception following close after. I'm starting to lean toward the idea of either jacket and tie or clerical collar with the top of the doublet folded back.
The highland dress equivalent of smart day wear to business suit is what Jock is advocating and demonstrating. This is also fine with a clerical shirt and collar.
In Scotland, those who own their own kilt rather than hiring it will sometimes not possess a tweed jacket. In such situations it is not uncommon to see guests wearing their black silver-buttoned Argyll jackets. Although this is the equivalent of morning dress and, strictly speaking, too formal it tends to set the upper limit of acceptable dress.
Some 60 years ago the groom and/or the groom's father may have worn a Montrose doublet at a day-time wedding where guests were in morning dress, but it was rare even then and would be considered completely over the top for a wedding guest today. I would save the doublet for formal evening wear.
... and enjoy the wedding!
It's coming yet for a' that,
That Man to Man, the world o'er,
Shall brothers be for a' that. - RB
