As an observation, there was a time when the bride to be and her mother sat down together and discussed what type of wedding there was to be, The Bride's father lurked, with a large whisky in hand in the next room wondering what the event was going to cost and waiting to hear what kind of wedding there was going to be-------church, cathedral, registry office and if the attire was formal or smart. The Groom to be waited for this information and then acted accordingly-----he knew what he was going to wear depending on the decisions made by the brides family. There was none of this must do , must wear this or that because the bride's aunt does not like the kilt, or formal weddings or some such nonsense. The Groom wears HIS tartan come what may, it is HIS choice IF the kilt is appropriate and with appropriate attire to fit the event. Otherwise, if there is not to be the kilt-------and there are considerations to be made about that----, he conforms with the general formal, smart,or even casual dress attire requirements.
There is still much merit in this system and if anyone, including the Bride's mother, objects----------TOUGH LUCK! I commend these thoughts to all, even in this modern day and age.
