Wedding advice

[xman]

I know grooms want to keep the peace but, my goodness, since when did the wedding day become the day when only the bride makes important choices?

Since brides I think.

remember, IT IS YOUR DAY TOO!!!! Not just hers.

Yeah, that's not true.

I have always found Mr. Gibbs' advice to his son before his wedding in Thornton Wilder's Our Town to be poignant;

"It's the womenfolk who've built up weddings, my boy. For a while now the women have it all their own way. A man looks pretty small at a wedding, George. All those good women standing shoulder to shoulder making sure that the knot's tied in a mighty public way."

Metrobirl, I would simply explain that there will be several colours in the kilt and that they must match well with each other first and foremost, but that the overall effect will be a complimentary one.
