What began as a kilted wedding...

[MGMorrison]

Thank you for this community.
My father and grandfather always wanted to wear the tartan, but never could justify the cost against family needs. (My great grandfather came from Lewis, into Cape Breton, then into Boston.)
So when my son wanted a kilted wedding I outfitted us all. (See avatar). It was a great day- very hot for those "tanks"!
In the years since you all have helped me learn much. I cringe a little when I see what we got " wrong" initially - again see avatar. But I have become comfortable kilted and proud to wear the tartan often. At 64 it connects me to my dad and grandfather ( both gone). It is no longer a costume but clothing of pride.
Ohh, and my mother was a Graham - my middle name- but that's another story. ( my wife gives me the evil eye when I start talking about getting measured for a Graham tartan.)
Anyway, thank you all for connecting a 64 year old American to his heritage and helping pass it on to his sons.
I learn something every time I log in. ( sadly at this years NH Highland games I realized I had become that guy- muttering to my wife far too often...." Look at him, that's just wrong!'
