A bit offtopic perhaps... but as a working piper I used to attend as many as forty or fifty weddings a year here in Southern California (the business has dropped off quite a bit lately) and I have an observation or two.

1) right or wrong, tuxedos are the norm for weddings here regardless of the time of day or night. I ran into morning dress only a couple times over 30 years of playing weddings. The tuxedos are usually black and are worn with bow ties.

2) brides and brides' mothers here are extremely concerned about matching colours and when I'm discussing their wedding beforehand I give them the choice of which kilt they'd like me to wear. Most pipers only have one kilt so the clients get what they get, but it's a nice courtesy to offer the bride a choice if there is one to be made. It's becoming more common for pipers to own a plain black or Black Isle kilt so as not to clash whatever the wedding colours.

3) various colours for the bridesmaids' dresses etc come and go. For a while black was very popular, then a very dark blue, etc. I've seen everything, even weddings where the bridesmaids were in CalTrans Orange dresses.
