    I actually found this site because of this wedding. After looking around here and asking a couple of questions, I purchased a semi-traditional from USA Kilts. I am glad I did. As Wompet said, the rentals were spotty. The Argyles and waistcoats were good quality, though mine was missing buttons, the kilts varied. At least one was a Gold Brothers, but the Isle of Skye appeared to be 16oz wool. The Groom's jacket and my own fit well, the others not so well. At the end of the reception, I tried on Groomsman 1's jacket from the pic below. It was at least one size larger than mine, and a long to boot. His kilt was a good 6" to large.

    Here are a few pics my father took:

    The Groom and Groomsman:

    Tartans: Groom--Duncan, Myself--USA Kilts Semi-Trad Hunting MacLeod, Groomsman 1--Scottish National Ancient, Groomsman 2--Isle of Skye, Wompet's brother the Usher (not in this picture)--Scottish National Modern

    Me Waltzing with the Maid of Honor (I did manage not to run into anyone or step on her feet)


    The Bride and Groom doing a much better job with the Waltzing.


    Wompet didn't mention, but the Bride was German, her mother Austrian. Here she is being escorted to her seat by her nephew, if I recall correctly, both in traditional Austrian attire.


    The Bride and Groom had been living in France until a couple weeks before the wedding. They have now moved to the US. There was a sizable contingent of the bride's friends and family that flew in from Europe to attend.
