As someone who performs many weddings my input is this - the kilt is not the issue here unless you are in the wedding party. Proper dress for the occassion is the issue. If it is a casual wedding - dress casual. If it's a dressy wedding the announcement should state so and direct your proper attire.
A wedding is never about the guests so don't be selfish or childish - it's not about you (the general you). If you show up at a dressy wedding with jeans and a sweatshirt you should be refused entry - just as at any proper gathering - proper attire is expected. Too many people have the notion that "I always wear jeans so I'm showing up in jeans simply because that's what I do". You can substitute kilts, moomoos, shorts or what ever you like in the preceeding sentence. Either wear the proper attire or don't go. Kilted is ( in my opinion) always acceptable unless you've been told/asked to wear something else. Pretty simple really. Wear the proper kilt and kilt kit at the appropriate time. Sweatpants are comfortable but I don't wear them all the time. As it states in Ecclesiastes 3:1
There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under heaven. So with all - moderation.
Thanks for the great kilt information herein.
