It will take place near Edinburgh. Since he is a great friend of mine I willl probably have the chance to wear it several times at different evenings during my life...

...and Second Question:
Must "my tartan" match the ones of the scottish family?

If you're "in" the wedding - like best man, then I'd say yes.
If you're showing as a general invitee, the world of tartans is your oyster.

I'd ask the invitor. I've seen weddings where the wedding party wear their own tartans.

The answer you want is YES!!

You are welcome to wear any tartan, most of us wear tartans with a family connection, or a location ( City , county, country ), and some like me wear some because they really like the pattern and colourway.

It's not a bad thing though to find out a little about the tartan, because you are guaranteed to be stopped and asked about it!and most kilted folks will say it shows respect to the tartan.
I like to see a mix of different tartans at special events, but perhaps you could ask some of the family if they have a preference.

and finally, WELCOME

I think that I can field this one.... not unless you want it to. McFarkus posted a couple of great tartans for you if you can find them.

and yes....
