Hello Neil,

Welcome to XMarks from the other side of the Atlantic in Norfolk, England.

You know, you could save your 'wedding kilt' for your wedding and buy something a lot cheaper now to get some experience. You can always tell your bride to be that you don't want to embarrass her on the day by getting it wrong.

Just a thought.

Regards

Chas

I did think about it, however I opted for a Black Watch tartan for the wedding as opposed to a Cranstoun (my family) tartan. Now my plans are to spend more money on my next kilt and for it to be Cranstoun.

Basically I did it the wrong way around; bought a relatively cheap kilt for the wedding and will buy a better one later in the year (we're paying for the wedding and with all the costs involved I couldn't put as much into the kilt as I may have ideally wanted).

I still get to wear it around the house

Welcome form the Upstate, SC! I was in Black Mountain last weekend; did the storm that hit there pass through where you live?

P.S. You'll like the Tartan Museum store and the staff. They also do great with internet sales. I placed an order on Sunday, and received an email on Monday saying that the order had been shipped.

The storm was pretty bad and I was wondering if it hit the games up a Black Mountain. I was planning on going this year but I work at a hospital and found myself on call. Maybe next year.
