Question ! Advice needed
Hi ,
Im quite new to kilt wearing , only wore one a handful of times in my life , but after a recent event i want to wear one at every opportunity .
My question is , we are going to a wedding in Greece soon and myself and my two young sons are planning on wearing matching kilts .
Its a mix of guests , Welsh groom, Irish bride , Greeks , English and many other nationalities .To my knowledge we are the only Scots going.
Whats the etiquette ?, Should we wear our kilts ?, ive never been to a wedding abroad , its not a church affair .
For want of better words (sorry) . i dont want to steal any of the attention away from the wedding party.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated .
Thanks

The most critical etiquette is the opinion of the bride. If she is ok with the wearing of the kilt, you are golden. Otherwise, refrain.

Welcome from Massachusetts, USA. I would wear it. You're Scots.

Suggest you go ahead and wear the kilt, particularly if your sons will be kilted as well. If you want to err on the side of caution, then follow Geoff's advice and check with the wedding couple. You will want to dress to the same level of formality as the other guests - lots of advice here on that topic as well.

I agree about asking the bride about it. After all it's her special day.. last thing you want is to steal the attentions from her, and "stand her up".

Another vote for asking the bride. The last wedding I attended I was specifically asked by the bride to wear the kilt.
