Blu, Congratulations and much happiness to your daughter and her fiance, and all the family!

You've had much good advice. Here are my observations, for what it's worth:

- Wear cream hose, the standard for a formal event; stark white is really just for pipe bands.
- Wear a white, not off-white, wing collar or Windsor collar dress shirt, with a black bow tie; pleats are OK on the shirt, but no ruffles.
- You can wear black dress oxfords rather than ghillie brogues if you prefer; the ghillies are more traditional and formal but a lot of Americans forego them.
- Unless the wedding is very formal, your Argyll jacket will be fine; I think they look best unbuttoned over a 5-button waistcoat (vest) worn buttoned up; don't wear a kilt waist belt with a waistcoat.
- Wear a dress sporran; i.e., the flat type with a metal cantle (top frame) and fur bag.
- If you wear a sgian dubh (which would be the traditional thing to do), make it a formal type, not one with a horn or natural wood handle; the handle should be black with a silver metal cap (with or without a stone on top).
- I have a page of traditional Gaelic, Scots, and English toasts and blessings for various occasions at http://www.thistlestopshop.com/catal...Blessings.html
- If you send me your email address by private message, I'll send you an info page about the quaich; other than what's been said here already, I'd just add that you hold the quaich by both lugs (the handles) to drink from it.
- Do not wear a top hat with a kilt! (I hope you were joshing about that...) Wear a Glengarry or Balmoral bonnet, if you want a hat -- put a clan crest badge or similar badge on the cockade at the side. On the Glengarry, let the ribbon tails hang down in back, on a Balmoral, tie them in a bow up against the band in the back.

Have a wonderful time at the wedding!

Cheers, Cyndi
