    How would your wife-to-be feel about you wearing a kilt?

    Considering she's happy with me being a transvestite, I doubt she'd mind! As mentioned, she's banned me from wearing a wedding dress, but I think wearing a man's skirt would be different. I would still look masculine and not attempting to look female (although I'll still be wearing eyeliner!)

    Maybe an anemone or two as your button hole.

    I did wonder if you'd upstage the bride so I too was going to suggest checking first!

    A rocker wig on this website if you fancy a change of hair to go with the eyeliner http://www.therealmccoy.co.uk/fancydress-new.htm

    Shame there was nothing at Camden to inspire you, fantastic place, its been a couple of years since I made it there. Its got the same feeling for me as Afflecks Palace, I feel right there.
    My boyfriend likes to dress up a bit with eyeliner and nail varnish and jewellery. He gets really frustrated at the lack of interesting clothing for men. Its really really limiting and when you're trying to express your personality with your choice of clothing then just seeing rows and rows of mainstream fashion same-ness makes it very difficult.

    Hope you come up with something fantastic! I bet your wedding will be more interesting than 99% of others taking place this year, it sounds brilliant. All the best x
    Many thanks to everyone who posts competitions and works so hard to provide all the answers!

  • What about suit trousers and a shirt with open collar and no tie, possibly in a funky print? That's what my sister's husband wore for their wedding (though it was a plain shirt), and he is very much a T shirt and jeans/shorts man on every other occasion.

    Loose = the opposite of tight (eg "These trousers feel a little loose")
    Lose = the opposite of find/gain (eg "I'm going to lose weight this year")

    I think the Jimmy Page / Robert Plant classic rock god look is a good one - new black or dark wash jeans, a very good shirt that fits properly and a good leather belt. Why not try somewhere like Selfridges or Liberty for a shirt? You might find a funky Liberty print that would look fab!
