    Thank you Mr. Newsome for your advice. I actaully plan on driving up to NC in the next couple of weeks to see you and place the order for whatever I decide. I was quite impressed with the time you took during the Stone Mountain Highland Games to answer the questions I had on the Kilt and the difference between the box and knife pleats. I guess my concern comes down to the fact that the wedding party will likely all be in 8yd knifes and I am not sure that a box pleated would fit in....

    Anyway, I am almost certain that I would be looking for the MacKinnon Hunting Ancient as the tartan.

    I think you should get whatever tartan you want/prefer, but that said, a hunting tartan would not be my first choice for a wedding, particularly if there was a nice dress, modern or weathered tartan I liked too. I know the weathered and dress tartans are usually lighter colored than the hunting, but with a PC or dark Eton jacket, the light colors give better balance and tend to stand out more, particularly in photos.
