Kilt Blessings?

[vipermcgee]

I was at a friend's wedding recently (kilted, of course) and one of the guests mentioned that a kilted guest at a wedding means good fortune. Has anyone heard of this? Personally, I think it means you have good taste in friends!

If that's true, we could rent ourselves out for weddings like a DJ.

[Snowbear]

I have not heard of that, but I have heard that a piper bring good luck. And then again; he's kilted.

If that's true, we could rent ourselves out for weddings like a DJ.

And we are everywhere. A section of this website or facebook page could be set up with a rent-a-kiltie feature.

Good taste in friends leads to good fortune!

Wow! There were about 30 of us kilted at my son's wedding!

Oh I thought this thread was going to be about times when our kilt itself was blessed.

Mine has received its share of Holy Water and incense smoke, as well as being blessed with smoke from a smouldering root by the chief of the Chumash Nation.

(Wife) I'm glad we hired a professional videographer for our wedding. Isn't it fun to go back and watch all of those things we couldn't see because we were too busy having fun?
(Husband) Yes, dear.
(W) I know your parents wanted to wish us good luck, but wasn't it a little bit of overkill when they sent the 50 guys in the kilts? I mean, yes, we were already having 500 of our closest friends to the wedding, but did we need that many blessings?
(H) actually, I think they just hired the one guy, the rest were his friends who came along for the ride.
(W) Fifty friends? All in kilts? What are they, some kind of band of roving kilt marauders?
(H) They have some kind of web communications hub, like a flash mob- they call them selves the Ex marketeers, or something, X Potters?
(W) well, I know the bridesmaids liked them.
(H) But the groomsmen seemed to be a little intimidated.
(W) Maybe if they weren't all so hung over...
(H) Your grandmother liked them, too.
(W) Your stepmother seemed to enjoy dancing with them.
(H) what was the deal with the one with the red socks?
(W) I think he was from Boston.
(H) And the one from Chicago?
(W) no, that was the one with the bear cub purse...
(H) How about this one coming into the frame. Yikes, that must have hurt, but do you notice how he managed to keep his knees together even as he landed on his backside?
(W) well, until he did the split there at the end, and then he gets his purse down so you can't see anything.
(H) well, not in that part you can't. Let me put it this way. We don't need to show your mother the "outtakes" chapter. She probably doesn't remember doing 64 kilt checks on camera.
(W) Sixty four, on 50 guys?
(H) a couple of them came back for seconds.

I also thought the title was about blessings FOR kilts and I remembered I had written one a while back. Here it is.
