hello, and thankyou for the replies! Here's a link to one of the kiltmakers I've been talking to: http://www.jmkilts.co.uk/ - right down at the bottom is the link to the wedding dresses. You will think they are lovely, and then you will look at the prices and see why I am compromising... I wasn't too sure about a top-with-no-sleeves at first (I think my shoulders look weird), but just try finding a wedding dress that covers you up...

I saw a lovely yellow skirt yesterday that I think would match the brightest stripe in my family tartan - I think it was on the right side of meringue factory explosion.

Oh, and 'tis indeed a Scottish-style wedding - I live in the north of Scotland! (Not the very north, because they're weird in Thurso (good chip shop, though), but as north as most people go). MyWash is getting a new kilt outfit for the occasion.

And when will it be... well, that depends on who wins the argument about how many guests we're having... the bigger wedding might take a wee while longer to organise...

And yes, I'm all excited, look, it's even taken over my firefly obsession...

Wow, taken over your firefly obsession? Thats possible? Who knew....

nah, kidding, Its your wedding! My inner-girly is getting all excited for you.

As for detracting attention from your shoulders, a heart shaped neckline aught to do that, the best thing to do is get the corste on and spend time playing with your hair jewellry and any extras like flowers or tiaras or other bits.

But those dresses are great, nothing like what iimagined (something black, longish sleeved, poufy and with a tartan sash for some reason... Monarch of the Glen has a lot to answer for)

and they all look like victorian style, so, you know what i'm going to say already.

You have a family tartan? what does that look like?
I'm told I should have a tartan (as in, the family has one, if we go look for it) apparently 'Young' is a Scottish name, but as far as i'm concerned we've been living in England since the 17th century, so trying to adopt a tartan now just seem a bit pretentious.
(mind you, the other half of the family has its roots in France, but its still not going to make me like smelly cheeses) but the whole thing (clans and different family names and tartans) is fascinating.

oh, waffle over.

Do you have more of an idea of what you want? really the best thing to do it find an image of a shape you like and take it with you when you shop.

And we definitly want photo's of you and YourWash in the full regalia.

ooooh. In my head the corset just looked stuffy and wooly and itchy, but now I've seen the pictures and wow! I want one. They're prettty.

And yes, there MUST be pictures. How exciting.

P.S. Got any single male friends? I've got a think for scots.

So, IamZoe, any handy tips for catching Scottish blokes?

Will a bit net work? Or would, say, a trail of food leading into a big cage work better?

glad you liked the pictures

Scottish men are indeed lovely. You're (some of you) going to Serenity3 aren't you? I noticed there was a high proportion of Scots at the Starfury events I've been to... should be easy to spot in their kilts at the disco nights! Maybe a lot of Scots are scifi fans...

But Canadians are lovely too! Although, I did used to live in a very Scottish part of Canada. But Nathan Fillion - there's a good example of Canadian loveliness.

Sigh... just back from a very long day of work. Have been trying to focus on how much of a wedding dress each hour pays for, but it's very difficult when I'm the only woman at work - the others don't really respond the right way when I want to discuss corsets

Yeah, men, good for many things, but hopeless at that kind of conversation. Ah well.
