I made a Kilt Convert

[terry m]

Well, I have maybe converted someone to kilt wearing and I didn't know it at the time. My daughter is step mum to a 14yr old young man whose mum is getting married in the spring. Anyway she wants all the men to wear the kilt at the wedding as she is Scottish. He has steadfastly resisted and had refused.
I wore my kilt to my daughters party for New Year's Eve and the young gent in question, who lives with his real mum, was there too. Anyway it transpires that his mum has told my daughter that all he has been talking about was how "cool" Terry's kilt is and he can't wait to wear one for his mum at the wedding.
Well, whether I was the influence or he just needed an excuse to change his mind and I provided it, I am pleased.

You did say he was 14 years old? How fickle boys are at that age.

Well done , now you've just got all the rest of the wedding guests to work on

Good on you for getting someone started, young. A lad with self-confidence and charisma can influence peers as well. Here is hoping a bit of a "kilted movement among the youth" begins in your area.

Last summer, a son-in-law and a chum of his came to the Highland Festival in our area and SIL, quite-deeply-Scottish-surnamed, is thinking on a kilt, as well.

'Am a firm believer in what another X-Marks-er said earlier; if a large number of the youth tried the kilt, particularly the informal ones in warm-hot weather, there would be many more converts to this garment.
