What to do???

[Jock Scot]

Well alright we have some information to work on. So through my traditional Highland Scots eyes I would advise no PC as the wedding is clearly during the day. As you are piping I think a black barathea, silver buttoned argyll and four in hand tie(not a bow or one of those dreadful ruche tings). In truth it would be more traditional for a piper to wear a tweed argyll for this sort of event that appears not to be going too far, down the formal route, but I am adjusting my advice a tad to take into account a possible need to "over dress" a tad, due to your local conditions!

Avoid like the plaque, those dreadful ghillie brogues and those even more dreadful "semi dress" sporran things. Good well shone up black shoes and a black day sporran will do nicely.

Just my thoughts and shoot me down in flames if you wish. Have fun!

[TBruce]

Very well..

Just a thought with the tweed... If I go with lavot green, should I still ware the Bruce Mod? or go with the Bruce Anc.? I have both, To me the Tweed goes better with the ancient. Thats my 2cents. And Jock.. by all means... let loose. Ho harm.. no foul here. I'm the one asking.

Assuming they both fit properly, then wear the tartan with the hue that you like the most.

What Jock said, in spades. I agree that the black Argyll is the better bet for wear in the USA. As far as tunes go, try to avoid "Danny Boy" and "The Fields of Athenry". "The Star of County Down" a fine tune, if you can play it on the pipes.

That would be a good fit here too. You know it well, my young friend!
