Inappropriate times to wear a kilt?

I have seen it mentioned before that wearing a kilt to a wedding is inappropriate unless you get the permission of the bride first.

I guess brides usually do not want anyone looking better than them at their wedding.

Having been an integral part of over 300 weddings, ranging from east coast old money black tie to barbecue in dad's backyard, I'd say this is not the case at all.

I have to replace the roof of my barn, even with knee pads the kilt would not be appropriate. The barn sits just off the road half way up a hill, I have to do the downhill side and is hit with a perpetual breeze. Besides the very clear risk of flashing everyone my underwear, slipping on a roof will teach you why pants were invented, not to mention how hot a shingle roof is on bare skin. I'm sure there's plenty more examples, like mowing the lawn, yes the kilt would be fine but it still strikes me as silly even though I think nothing of wearing it when I was cleaning windows.

In general, any time I have questioned myself if I should wear my kilt to (event) - I don't. That's not a simple, "hmm..maybe my kilt", but a serious, "should I wear my kilt to that?". I figure if my brain/gut is asking me the hard question, there's got to be something to it.

Ratspike; If I was going to a job interview at a Scottish shop or "Men in Kilts" I'd wear it!
