Maybe not nice, cruel, narrow minded or whatever, but give in...it's her wedding and she makes the rules...c'est la vie

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:

Sounds like an excuse to finally buy those Trews you've been eyeing

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?"

Couldn't agree more.

Thank you,

That's the first thing that went through my mind, too. Great minds, and all...

Dave,

I'd go for trews as well, but I wouldn't go for the MacIan tartan...personally, trews look better in a dark tartan...but that's just me. Government Sett (Black Watch) tartan makes the best trews, but Stewart Hunting, Leslie and Mackenzie also look good.

That's a tough call...if you go with the Government Sett, then it's less likely to attract her attention (and others) at the ceremony and possibly cause an "incident".

If it's an evening wedding, you could always wear your formal rig with trews, a la Hector in "Monarch of the Glen".

Cheers,

Todd

I quite agree. I always feel it's good to take the high road.

I agree about the trews, Todd. I was just imagining how much the bright red tartan would stand out.

I really do have to wait and see what the "dress code" is before I can decide what to wear. I don't want to be too dressed up if everyone else is in slacks and a polo shirt. She has been married before, so it might be fairly casual.

I will probably wear slacks and a blue blazer unless they are dressing up more. Heck, if it's appropriate, I'll even wear a tie.

[Cinnabar]

I can understand being disappointed but it's their wedding and their special day. You'll have plenty of other chances to wear a kilt around them later.
