    Wives are always right..!

    Our job as groom is to dress as instructed, turn up on time, and do what we're told.

    Good choice of sporrans there, Tomo. I would bet the price of a pint that the brown number with braided border is the work of Nicoll Bros' skilled hands.

    I commissioned a couple just the same from them around the turn of the millenium, and had the tassel-cords crossing. Wonderful quality.

    Indeed - correct on both counts. The other sporran is from WE Scott (but you could probably have "guessed" that was the case as well)

    I tell young couples that the purpose of a marriage ceremony is to praise God, and thank God that you have found each other, and to ask God to bless you as you start life in a new relationship.

    Then turning to the groom, I sometimes say, the second purpose of the ceremony is to keep her and her mother happy. After that, you get to take her home.
