    I say go for it and stand firm.
    As the groom, you should have the right to determine your own wedding garments, and hopefully your bride will allow this or it is perhaps an indication of things to come. Just my humble opinion. I have never agreed with the the notion tha the bride and her mother get to call all of the shots. After marriage is a partnership, and should start out that way. Now I do wonder why you should wish to be wed in a kilt if you do not have Scottish roots, and perhaps this is what your bride to be is taking issue with.

    Pick your battles carefully...and if this is the one you choose it is going to be a rough marriage.

    Don't fool yourself in thinking it is "our" day...it is "her" day no if and's or but's about it. You are window dressing.
    As others have said she has been dreaming of this day since preschool.

    IMHO it is foolish to start of the rest of your life disagreeing about clothing for one day.
    Say yes dear, of course dear and get on with living! Life is too short
