    My own thoughts?
    1. Skip the fly plaid.
    2. Wear a "normal" four-in-hand necktie, with a turn-down collar shirt.
    3. Get some hose in a claret ( or brighter ) red.
    4. Do not wear tartan flashes. Blah.
    5. Make sure that the length of the sleeves of the shirt is such that about 1/2" of cuff is showing.

    Have a grand time!
    Sage advice there!

    I agree with Sandy and Jock, even as a fan of the fly plaid.
    I'd like to see a red tie with red hose and white garter ties, especially if you're going to wear the ghillies. The red hose peeking out through the laces of the ghillies looks pretty snazzy.
    May I ask why you chose the Braemar jacket over the Argyll? (Not a criticism, just wondering.)

    Here's another thought. What if your hose or flashes/garters were the same color as the bride's flowers or the bridesmaids' dresses? Too matchy-matchy?

    When given a choice, most people will choose.

    Is it? I've never subscribed to that school of thought. It is YOUR wedding too! Why can't a man have any input on what to wear to his own wedding?

    I'm very happily married, yet there was never any ultimatum from my wife as to what I was to wear at our wedding. She had complete trust in my taste and respected that.

    Oh well...

    Less ultimatum and more I don't really care too much on the details and she appreciates the sentiments. Happy wife, happy life!
