A dilemma

[CDNSushi]

And lest you think this just a clever fiction I will soon post the pictures (they're still on the camera).

The sooner the better!

Sheesh

This is after coming home from the wedding (the only picture of us on our camera it turns out!). It was 90+ Farenheit, humid, and sunny so we were hot (wool hose, kilt, and waistcoat help with that, right?) and I had already removed my coat. Looking at the picture I realize that the angle of the camera makes the kilts appear lower than they were on both of us. I'll post more pics as I get them from others who took them.

I'm hopingt for piciures like that with my grandson in a year or two. Really special.

I have a co-worker how is getting married on 11.11.11. She is aware that i wear my kilt often. I asked her if she minded and i added my concerns as well. She was all for it. Only asked that i not go regimental, due to others filling her head with images of a dancing kilted man and a sudden gust of wind. Rubbish i know but i think i can respect her wishes

Close enough!

That's a great picture of you and your son. You both look great.

Great pics!

Smart, understated, elegant. This is how it's done.

I think the only thing to remember is that it's a wedding- which means two things: it has a level of formality above the average party; and the day belongs to two people. I you keep those things in mind as a guest, it is hard to go wrong. 1: dress for the occasion (and if your best happens to be the kilt, great) and 2: if worried, get the opinion of those that it concerns, ie. the happy couple.

If you show respect to the couple (family), by dressing well, then I seriously doubt that anyone will have anything but positive feedback. (Also, just because you receive complements, doesn't mean that you are reducing the importance of the bride... that is difficult to do). The only thing I would be wary of is not upstaging the groom, remember it's his day too! Which means...No fly-plaids! No dirks! (I personally would be hesitant about full mess-dress, medals etc.- However, a serviceman wearing uniform is hardly being disrespectful!) Showing your respect as a guest by dressing approppriately is the most important thing and will not be unappreciated.

Regardless of the heat, I would be hesitant to put on a t-shirt (unless the groom and father of the bride did it first..!)

Cheers!
