    Kilts are what I wear. My friends understand that. So far I havent attended the wedding of anyone who isnt a friend.

    Still, pick your hill to die on, this one probably isnt worth it.

    DD,

    The bride has made a request of you. The day is hers, honor the request.
    A friendship is more important than a kilt. Though it is a shame because you are quite dapper in your full formal rig. I'm sure you pull off a suit or tux with equal flair.

    Cheers

    I agree with Rab. Wear what you would wear with your kilt with black pants to the wedding and put on your kilt for the reception.

    I'd honor the request and then figure out how important that relationship is. Then probably not go. Stuff her , I'd let your buddy know that is why I wasn't going either. Going formal is a sign of respect and effort. Outshine the bride? Horsehockey! She has another agenda. Any bets?

    Davedove, I fear Robin is right. However, go on trying to persuade her, and don't feel too upset if she does'nt change her mind. I think wearing the kilt only after the ceremony could be a good idea and she will probably consent.
    Good luck!

    Ah, women... :confused:

    I hadn't even thought of that. Maybe I SHOULD get a pair of trews in the MacIan tartan (same as my avatar). "But you told me not to wear a kilt!"

    Actually, right now I have no idea how dressed up the affair will be yet, so I can't make any decisions yet.

    As we all know, in matters such as these, the question is not, "How good a friend is she?" but rather, "How good a friend am I?"
