    Re: Wearing a Kilt to a wedding

    The way I look at it, and with as odd and touchy as some people are now, someone's wedding IS NOT the time to make some sort of statement, assert your free thinking, champion the kilt as "normal" clothing, or otherwise worry about "drawing attention to your heritage" (well said, MacM's son) .

    With that in mind, unless you feel pretty much 100% that the couple in question wants or expects you to show up kilted, you should ask. As a gentleman, I feel that under those circumstances, I would want to do my best to ensure that the bride and groom have the best day possible. If one of the things I think I can do to make that happen is wear p@nts, that's what I'm going to do.

    To my own way of thinking, if someone invites me to be in attendance on one of the most important days of their life, any macho thoughts along the lines of "nobody's going to tell me what to wear!" should seem relatively unimportant. I'm more concerned with being a considerate person, than a self-important one.

    Just my own two cents, and how I personally view the sittuation.
