From the very beginning: I need advice!

You left out the bow tie. A nice kilt pin is also good. Another nice touch would be a fly plaid in the same tartan as your kilt, with a nice brooch.

Why a tie?

Why not a cravat?

Oh my. This shall be such a fun thread.

Don't forget the pre-nup!

Keep it securely in your sporran, because like a sporran, the pre-nup covers your b*lls when needed!

Okay Murray,
It depends on how formal you'd like to be at the wedding. The first thing to do is decide on a look.
Have a look at Hamish's photo album and pick a look you and the future Mrs. Murray like.
Then start shopping and asking questions.

Or even go the full route and get the frilly cravat and cuffs.

You know, I would never, ever wear a tie, even upon pain of death... But I would wear one of those for some odd reason because I like how they look. Respectable and distinguished. And with me looking as beastly as I do, I bet I would be quite a sight wearing one, as far as contrasts go. Ties on the other hand, just look stupid.

As someone who was born nine months and five days after her parent's wedding- a condom.

I can just see you wearing a jabot and lace cuffs and a Montrose jacket. Right out of Beauty and the Beast.

Even though the rules are pretty much "oot the windae" anymore, if your wedding is before 4 pm, a nice day jacket, shirt and tie will suffice.

The Jabot and lace cuffs probably should be left for full formal attire, such as the Sheriffmuir or Montrose jackets -- they just don't look "right" with the Prince Charlie to me, but hey -- to each his own.

And remember with black tie, a winged tux shirt is not necessary -- a simple "stand and fall" collar is better with black tie, and much more comfortable.

I really wish you wouldn't make such blanket statements like this, Dreadbelly. Ties may not be your thing, but please remember that there are those on this board who do like how they look, myself included. You are entitled to your opinion, just as I am mine. Instead of saying, "ties...just look stupid", how about "ties...aren't my thing." That way you are not implying that those of us who wear ties "look stupid".

Todd
