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

My thoughts, exactly.

However, it IS her day, and if she asks you to do something specific, you're kind of obliged to do it.

Not wanting to hijack this thread but I had a positive experience. I had an enjoyable time at a friends wedding yesterday in my tank and Argyll jacket. I asked my friend a while ago if he had any problems with me wearing a kilt as I didn’t want to draw attention away from him or the bride. I asked him if his fiancé would mind? He told me she had been fairly sheltered most of her life and would probably be very interested in the kilt. Needless to say, the wedding went off without a hitch and both the bride and groom’s family loved the kilt and had nothing but positive comments. In fact the bride’s father took me aside and told me he had an interest in other cultures and their traditions and expressed his admiration for the kilt I was wearing. As could be expected throughout the evening, conversations ranged from tartans and clans to scotch and haggis. The Bride and I had three dances in a row until this old man had to give it up.

Pirates wore dresses?????

Well I am being honest, If a friend asked me not to wear my kilt at their wedding, I am affraid I would decline their invitation. Maybe thats why I do not have many friends.

I once read that when dressing for a wedding you should avoid being mistaken for a member of the wedding party if you are not actually in the wedding party. Bridezilla has given you the information you need (on several levels, methinks).

Ladies should also not wear black to a wedding either, but who pays attention to *that* advice anymore either?

You can always wear a tartan tie and cummerbund with a suit. People will still ask about it. OR.........Talk to the groom and get him into a kilt for the ceremony. Ah ha!

when I got married I told my soon to be wife ....the day is yours ... however you want to do things is up to you ....just tell me what time I need to be there IN MY KILT and all is well!

needless to say when the budget kept increasing by 300-500 bucks every other week... I didnt complain cause I knew I would be kilted for my wedding!! it still ened up being less expensive than I thought


this is how I always lookd at it

women buy a 3k dollar dress they wear once in their life
men RENT a tux .......who's gonna have final say on EVERYTHING from the big day on?

[Blu (Ontario)]

That's the first time I've heard of a guest being singled out ahead of time with respect to attire.

On the other hand I've heard of women on occasion wearing tuxedos to formal events without issue.

It is after all a womans prerogative.
