    Buy the hose and dress shirt if you can afford them, you'll get plenty more use from them. I would advise a Prince Charlie for a wedding if you want a true formal look.

    I know what Brian is saying but for me for a wedding in the US unless it is VERY formal or VERY Scottish I'd go with the Argyll. I love the look of the PC but unless the other guests are going to be in tuxes you'd be over-dressing.

    I agree with both of you. I am getting married in Sept and for that I am wearing a PC. But for attending other weddings, I am trying to keep it a little less formal. I would like it to be dressy but not over done.

    Side note Brian, I own the hose and shirt, I should have been more clear in my post. I will just be renting the jacket.
    Thanks for the advice.
