Morning Suit Equivalent

[Jock Scot]

A bit late on this, sorry. Here is the picture of the kilt at a most formal of formal French wedding. I was asked to wear the kilt by the bride and her parents, so I could not refuse!I would have not, by the way, have ever asked if I could wear the kilt in those circumstances, it is for the Bride's family to ask me and they did. If the wedding had been in Scotland, then that would have been an entirely different matter altogether. I would not normally wear a balmoral either, with this outfit, but the bride's father asked me to, he had the sword, so anything he said went! I did deliberately "dress down" the sporran to reduce the impact a tad.

Actually the French are politely interested in the kilt and as the wedding was in Normandy they understood the kilt fairly well.I have worn the kilt to many French weddings, on request.So baring in mind my slight adaptions with the sporran(not a bad idea to reduce the "bling" a tad as a guest) and the bonnet, my outfit is the equivalent of morning dress.You can't see it in the pictures, but my tie is dark blue with white spots. I could have worn my regimental tie, but seeing that the French armed services were out in strength, I decided not to cause any offence(there would be none, but.....).
