As recently married lass, this post strikes a cord. I've heard so many bride's dictate or 'request with force' that there partners should wear a certain thing or colour (with pink i really hate this). I hate it when i bride says 'Your kilt should match the theme'. There's so much more to a kilt that aesthetics! Traditionally a wedding would be full of many colours of kilt as each guest would be wearing their tartan. Kilts don't have to match, there meaning is more important than that! I wanted a red and ivory wedding, which i got, but McGurk was in a green, white and yellow tartan because it was appropriate to his heritage (an mine coincidentally).

I really hope this person is doing this because he wants to, not because he feel he has to. I hate the theory it's the brides day. Two people get wed, not one! Not everything HAS to co-ordinate! If he wears something he doesn't really like he'll look back on photos with regret, which isn't fair. I really hope this man is doing it because he genuinely wants to. If i had ever indicated i wanted McGurk to do as i wished kilt wise i'd be ashamed of myself. I get to choose my dress and colours, so should the groom!

Sorry for the rant, i just talk to so many brides with a 'It's my day attitude' and i don't like it. I really hope that isn't what's happening here. Men, you do have a right to the wedding outfit you adore too!
