Just a pic from an Ordination

**starbkjrus** · 10th November 07, 04:29 PM

Well, this pic didn't turn out as well as expected BUT.....

My Partner had his Deaconite Ordination today (on his way to the Priesthood) and here is a pic of us just after the conclusion of the ceremony. I'm looking more than a bit rumpled as the festivities were just over three hours long and I was a participant. I'm wearing a black Argyll jacket, black shirt, black hose, black garter ties, black shoes, silver tie and XMarks kilt. (Five yard knife pleat ala Matt Newsome.) The kilt seems askew, the tie knot is sideways and I really AM smiling and don't even ask about the sporran

but it was a VERY nice ceremony. I'm very proud of him and despite the fact the I look like I belong in the "don't s" thread I wanted to share.

At least now we're BOTH un-bifurcated.

For those of you curious a silver tie works very welll with the XMarks tartan.

I looks very nice. Which is his denomination?

A very nice picture Dee, my heartfelt congratulations to Ron.

Congratulations to your partner Dee!

Your Braemar jacket* looks quite smart as does the rest of your outfit, though perhaps not quite as smart as Ron's at this particular occassion.

Your sporran is where now?

Cheers

Jamie

* Check the cuffs!

Certainly a great day! You both look fine -except his kilt is longer than yours...

Congratulations to Ron, Dee, and I have to say that your black and silver do work with with X Marks kilt - a neat, modern look. I've not yet had the pleasure of meeting Ron, but look forward to doing so at The Ferintosh in January.

Congratulations to you both!

I, too, look forward to hearing the sporran story. Also I like your kilt pin--on this occasion especially!

Echoing, THANKS! for the black with X Marks idea. Who'd have thunk it. Is this a great board or what?

And contrats to the new deacon. Know something of that in that a good friend went through the process a few years ago. No small thing for sure.
