    A warm welcome on-board from northern Norway!

    My 2 c worth: you and your partner wear his tartan, and the best men wear your partner's best man's tartan. That could be really stylish

    As argued often on this forum: there is no problem wearing "somebody else's tartan" if one knows what one is wearing, and wear it with pride. Isn't a wedding perfect for honouring the other?



    Hope to see some pictures!

    My thoughts...

    If your partner and his best man each have a clan tartan that has meaning to them, they should wear their own colors. As for you, you could take your partner's tartan (I wear my wife's clan's tartan) as you are joining your partner's family. Or you and your best man could look to your own personal histories for a tartan inspiration (Think National Tartans, State Tartans, Service Tartans, etc. etc.) if that doesn't work, what tartan do you like?


    Cheers (and congratulations)

    If you want a slightly less formal affair, go with the different clan kilts. If you've got the time, and you want the uniformity, get everyone looking the same on both sides of the alter & forget the tuxdos altogether. I think such a mass of kilts would look great.

    My buddy wants me to wear my family tartan and he was wanting to wear his. Due to a crappy company not getting his kilt to him on time it looks like he will be wearing the blackwatch.
