    I have a black leather sporran. the kilt isnt too long, its just a bit further passed the center of my knee than it should be.

    the buckles are not any tighter than the stock holes on the straps.

    i would pick up a bow tie if i had any idea of where to get one??

    Remember, it's not your fault you were given such short notice! I dig number 2, like stated above.

    Maybe the waist coat, different jacket, and no tie?..

    I have to say that a wedding is jacket and tie for me... Regardless of dress code...

    I might be a little late based on the 3hr window, but if you think it's too long and you dont have a bowtie, you might want to consider a suit/coat(jacket) this time and wear the kilt next time? Unless they asked you to wear it of course...

    If i had to pick one of the options, then i guess the waistcoat and a straight tie would be the way i'd go... Take the tie off unbutton the collar and you dress it down some if you need to...
