    I think I would best classify this tartan as inoffensive. Nothing spectacular, but nothing horrid.

    Exactly, Tartan Tess! It's a wedding, for cryin' out loud. It would make a suitable mourning tartan for Princess Diana, since the sapphire blue is indicative of her famous ring. But where's the joy, optimism that should be associated with a wedding?

    Nor youthful, neither. I think it would have made my uncle, the mortician, stop short, stare in disbelief, shrug, and wander away without comment.
