If I am not a member of the wedding party proper, as a guest I will dress appropriately for the time and venue. This was true before I started wearing kilts all the time as well. I have never felt the need to ask the bride's (who has enough to worry about) or anyone else's permission to dress in my usual manner. Do you think the wildly inapproprately dressed folks who always seem to show up asked if it was OK to wear their tube-tops, shorts and crocs?
Because the folks who show up in the dress described above do not take into account that they might attract the attention of the other guests, rather than on the bride and groom, who should be the focus of the day. A gentleman, however, would take that into consideration and ask the bride and groom, since it is "their" day.
