We will be wearing a Tux waist coat similar to what you have but without the buttons. We will not be wearing vests, nor cumber-buns so that leaves belts.

Kilt drop is sometimes debated. But I, like most people, agree that the kilt should come to the top of the knee. Yes, the kilt will feel like it's too high (navel or even higher) but this is where it's supposed to be. Think of it like this: If you can't see your knees, SOMETHING'S WRONG
Here's a snap from my recent wedding. Click to see larger size...
You say that but it looks to me like yours mostly covers the knees.
