    That's playing with fire. A bride is likely to react to that photo with a "YES! YES! That's just what I want for ALL the groomsmen!"

    Far better to keep the pink to the most disposable of all the accessories.

    There aren't many tartans out there with pink... that's the reason Kelly created and registered the MSQOS tartan.

    For those who haven't seen it:

    Barring him doing that, I would suggest getting Solid Black kilts if she insists on matching. Also, there are places that rent all black kilts along with the rest of the outfit...

    I like your Nightstalker idea. You could pair it up with a pink vest ("dress vest" -available at sixstaruniforms.com in MANY colors...thanks, Moosedog, for this info!), and black jackets.

    I was just at a wedding on Saturday and the guys wore black pants, black jackets, black ties, and red vests...it was striking! Very nice looking!

    The Tartans Authority shows "Oliver Dress Pink" (no copyright) and "Pink MacLeod" (with copyright).

    I remember there being a Breast Cancer Awareness tartan. It's pink of course, and I would feel manly wearing that.

    Hey Rocky I clicked hte lik to try and figure out what the heck MSQOS stood for. The description is cut off in my browser (firefox) and reads: [sic]
    he name "Mary Stewart, Queen of Scots" and the tartan pattern itself are both
    Then I went view source, and that seems to be all there is on the page about that tartan. Just thought you might want to know.

    The Mary Queen of Scots tartan would be great because it is based on the Stewart tartan, and the bride is a Stewart, so it would also be a way of honoring her family.

    Of course if the groom wants a tartan that has pink in it, without being overly pink, there are other options. The County Offaly tartan from the House of Edgar being one:


    Another is the Bruce of Kinnaird tartan (modelled here by this handsome English gent -- sorry Hamish, I couldn't help myself!):


    From some manufacturers the Hunting MacGregor ancient and the Crawford ancient tartans look rather pink, as well.

    Of course, for a really unique wedding kilt, why not take your traditional family tartan (Campbell) and have a special run made up that incorporated a small amount of pink in the design? He'd have a kilt that both represents his clan, and also commemorates his wedding!

    Aye,
    Matt
