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.

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.

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.

Alright, the PC is out. I already asked the couple if wearing my kilt would be OK, and they said it was fine. I will have to see how the Green Argyle and Cunningham kilt go together. I am having trouble imagining it in my head right now. To me, it just seems like it will scream CHRISTMAS! Anyway, if I dont decide I want to do that, I will just conform and wear a suit. Its not my day after all.

Your Cunningham and green Argyle will not scream Christmas! Your tartan has enough non red colours to compliment the green. I have worn the green with a Stewart tartan. It didn't say Christmas, it said golf before the hunt. (I don't play golf so it was on to the hunt kilted.)
