Traditional Highland Wedding Attire?

[seanachie]

I did not get married in a kilt. However, I have a story worth sharing given the threads that occasionally pop up about regarding insisting on wearing a kilt versus discerning whether it might not be the preferred option.

I had started to accumulate all of the dress items I wanted to wear for my wedding to accompany my kilt. Then big surprise, my wife bought me a very nice suit for my Christmas present in the months before our wedding. (Yes, we had been more focused on her dress and stuff and really had not discussed my outfit.) So regardless of whether she had gotten it at a nice store or a thrift store it was a gift given out of love. I never ever mentioned the kilt until after our wedding. She reminds me of this every anniversary and we are approaching our 10th. As much as I love wearing my kilt, I bear no regrets.

It reminds me of O. Henry's famous Christmas story, which is worth reading if you have not.
