Sounds like progress Dana,

There's a good background on men and kilts at www.kiltmen.com if you haven't shown it to her already. Might help with perspective.

She might also be ticked that you sprung it on her rather than involved her in the planning and ordering. Approving of an independent decision of yours might mean giving up control to her.

What part of the world do you live in. Maybe we could organize a "Kilt In." All of us nearby could come for a visit kilted....
