    How does she (and you) feel about having the Groomsmen in kilts also? Just a thought

    I'd drop by the bridal shop and ask the lady if you pass muster! There is'nt much more formal than a pc and kilt. B t w what kind of accessories will you be wearing with your pc. You know, around here it did'nt happen if there are no pics.

    Good show from your wife.

    I think it came out wrong. What she said was "Oh, you're going less formal". What she meant was "I'm getting commissions on tuxes, not kilts."

    Or maybe she's just seen the tablecloth kilts you see at ren faires.

    LOL Great story!
    I think David's Bridal gives and IQ test and if you pass they don't hire you.
    My daughter is getting married soon so she wanted me to get measured for my tux. Since Davids displays them she thought they would measure for them so we go and the girls says "No we don't measure for tux's here, but you can go to Men's Wearhouse in the mall."

    Great plan except Men's Wearhouse is in the SAME SHOPPING CENTER as David's Bridal. It's just around the corner. We got a kick out of that.

    The best weddings I have ever seen are ones where the men wear kilts. There is something about the white dress and a man wearing a tux and kilt that look great! Looks much better than pants.

    a) the clerk -- some people open their mouths to show their ignorance

    b) your fiance is, as others have said, a keeper!

    c) Boulder connection: our daughter-in-law is working on her Master's degree at the University of Colorado

    My fiance is great. We're high school sweethearts and have been together almost 9 years. She just got back after 2 years in Oregon getting her masters degree.

    That is really strange, as many people tend to think that the kilt is only for formal occasions.

    Although I do tend to wonder if they weren't just trying to rent another tux.
