Wedding attire help

If your heart is set on wearing the Cunningham then wear it with the pc. Even though you'd be a bit overdressed it would look fine. I don't believe the "unkilted" equate the pc with a tuxedo - they see it as a kilt jacket. Wear it with a vest and you can take off the jacket if you feel overdressed.

I think you are incorrect on this account. It is impossible to hide a PC's formality, from the cut, to the tails and don't forget it is worn with a formal shirt and tie.

My advice is to wear your green argyle, even though you won't be wearing your kilt of choice. Unless the invitation calls for the guests to be in black tie it would be a bad idea for you to show up in a PC. While you are an invited guest, you must remember that the focus of the day should be the bride and groom. Dressing inappropriately takes away from their spotlight and shows a lack of respect for the couple.

BB,

I am wholly in agreement with PiobBear and Chef, a PC would be way too much.

Wear your green tweed argyle and MacMillan kilt and look very smart and very appropriately dressed. Save your PC for the right occassion, it will be worth the wait.

Cheers

Jamie

Ditto Jamie and Chef's comments; have you tried your Cunningham kilt with your tweed jacket? You might be surprised how well they look together.

Wear the green tweed with a Cunningham. I have seen green argyles with red kilts before and they can look very nice together.
Have fun,
Sara

No. It's eating tweed that's forbidden after Easter.

Yes, but this time of year you can wear your white ghillie brogues.

More on topic - I agree with the foregoing. Wear the Argyle. And I think green tweed would go just fine with your red kilt.
