I'd probably take a much more stealth vengeance approach. I'd carry a tartan handkerchief and when picture time comes around, for every photo you are in, whip out the handkerchief and have it prominent in the photo so when they get their photos back it will be a nice little surprise

They can have their day but you get a piece of eternity

I won't say what I would do for THIS wedding but for YOU'RE wedding I would have to agree with Jerry here. Once the wedding DID take place I would have moved to the other side of the country and gotten an unlisted phone number!

I have to agree. Ask if the groom is game.

Now that is a VERY good suggestion.

S. M.

I have one question for you:

Are you or your husband in the wedding party?

I completely understand your desire for revenge but as Glen pointed out, "two wrongs don't make a right".

If you are part of the wedding party then you should abide by the wishes of the bride and groom as to your attire during* the ceremony.

That is the right thing to do.

I hope that you and your husband had a very long discussion with your Mother on this subject and resolved this issue. If you haven't you should, what she did was very wrong and you are owed an apology. It would not be unreasonable to ask her to make amends for what she did by honoring your wishes and allowing him to wear a kilted outfit in her wedding.

Now if you aren't in the wedding, I think you and your husband should dress in appropriate Highland Attire (i.e. unless the other guests are wearing a Tux no PC for your husband) and knock 'em dead.

Cheers

Jamie

* Now the reception, as Anne points out below, is another story!

DO IT, DO IT, DO IT!!!!! Unless you would be remorseful afterward.

ROCK that Kilt and Smile

**Caddy One** · 11th November 08, 03:22 PM

To me that would be a no brainer....DO IT

**socalferg** · 11th November 08, 10:15 PM

Wow, unbelievable. I can’t believe your Mom took that on herself to do. Anyway…
I say wear the Kilt. But, both of you need to decide how that will affect your Mom. It is ‘her day’. And, it’s really not worth creating turmoil in everyone’s life. Of course ‘Mom’ might have considered that in the first place.
