    *edited to keep us on topic

    Everything I wore was already owned, except I had just recently purchased the sporran for the wedding and the off-white tie. BTW, I don't own a dress dirk, but I borrowed one for cutting the cake; and no, I didn't wear it, as you can see in my original photo. Speaking of the cake, the bride's cake was the standard, but I chose for my groom's cake what I was informed to be the typical wedding cake at a Scottish wedding, which was a fruitcake with a marsipan shell.

    Also, I apologize for not congratulating you in my original post! (I was tight on time after looking for the picture)

    Congratulations!
