Should I wear a kilt?

[CactusJack]

From a snowy St. Louis, Mo. As to your question about wearing a kilt I say yes. As to your question "Must "my tartan" match the ones of the scottish family?" I shall leave that to the rest of this group as I am not as savy as they are.

thank you DI, McF, and McL...
Does it mean I have to choose a particular tartan depending from where I am from?

Yes, wear a kilt like your friend asked. No, you don't have to choose a particular tartan. There are no laws or written rules about the tartan someone should wear.

There are hundreds of tartans to choose from, like the Scotland's National tartan shown here: http://scottishkilts.net/products/st...ched_kilt.html

Mattia....Once you try it on, you will never want to take it off. Btw..Do you have any relatives in Maryland in USA? There was a football player at my High School everyone called Bubba and he was a Mattia. Welcome to the website.

I thank everybody... Is the second time I subscribe to a forum... Nobody answered me in the first one (cooking). Here we have really well educated and friendly people!!!

The answer is YES! Follow the advice given here. There are tartans for almost any situation and a bunch of universal ones for everything else. Stick around, once you wear it you'll want more.

OK.Thank you. Now that I know that I am allowed to wear it I will ask him more infos about the family and their desires and expectations.

You didn't date the bride at any time...did you? Just kidding! I typically forego the sgian dubh at religious events (church mostly) but I have seen them at weddings before. I suppose it might come down to what the wedding party thinks.

That is a very good idea!
