Guy, the tartans I recommend are as follows
Holyrood(nearly finished)
Campbell of Cawdor(my wife's tartan I wore at our wedding)
Scottish National
Black Watch
Black Stewart
Ancient Buchanan
My favorite is the black self colour, and presently a smokey grey kilt with a matching vest that we are finishing up on the prototype.
Maple Leaf
I suggest these if you don't have your own or choose to wear a different one.

It was a neat day. I was amaised at how many people didn't realize there were kiltmakers that can make low cost kilts instead of renting.
Some people would just rent a number of times for different functions and be limited to the tartans they can choose. They now know they can buy a kilt (tartan or solid) at a decent price and keep it forever. Ware it 3-4 times and they made there money back and still own the kilt.
It was great Machummel was able to crash the traditional fashion show of wedding gowns and bridesmaid dresses by being piped on to the stage. The piper was a last minute touch. Last minute, the guy had half an hour to get ready and make it to the venue with seconds to spare. A special thanks to Mr. Percy from the Fergus pipe band for doing that for half a song. I don't know many that would bother for half an hour in the spotlight and wouldn't take a dime. Sometimes I love Fergus for that. Its about the pipes and kilts, not money or fame.
It was a fun day all around, and we did it without Guiness or Scotch

I don't think it's an oxymoron sometimes we sit drink Guinness ( St Patty's Day) When I feel a sense of accomplishment or just want an excuse for scotch we kick into the single malt.

If we weren't talking to new brides to be, there mothers, bridesmades and sometimes even the groom then the flask may have appeared. It's hard to talk to people and be professional with single malt breath. We leave the pints and malt for another day.
The number of times I heard Brides to be say to there moms " If only I could get the groom into a kilt". I think a few brides to be went home and did the hard sell on there hubbies. If the hubbies only knew how much there brides to be appreciate a man in a kilt they would be all over it.
But I don't have to convince anyone here. We know the score
