Need Help

[Andrew Breecher]

I have worn kilts to my friends' weddings. They all know that I wear kilts all the time, so when they invite me, they know I'll be wearing a kilt to their wedding. I suppose it would be different if you only wear kilts part-time, but I've never had anyone complain.

Good point. I'd just started wearing kilts at that point so it was still a novelty for my family and friends.

I spoke to the bride and groom and they said that they wouldent have a problem with it.

Just wanted to say thank you to everyone that helped...Cheers

Go have FUN, and get a pic or two of yourself there.

If anyone invites me to a wedding they will have no choice but to see me in a kilt...

As a priest, I can say something about "attire" at most modern weddings.

It is an embarrassment. Most clergy really don't like weddings, as modern and arbitrary "liturgics" are often foisted upon by a bride and groom who have watched too much novelty on the Learning Channel (can we release doves tied to balloons with candles inside them? It will be really symbolic....)

As an Orthodox priest, I'm happy to say that I love weddings because no one gets to add or change anything. But I digress...

Recently, a fellow priest and I discussed this very topic. He mentioned that he recently celebrated nuptials at a Civil War themed wedding (interesting for an Orthodox priest) and loved it! Everyone was in lovely period costumes, and he said the entire thing was great to be a part of.

Then we lamented that people don't get "dressed up", I mean really dressed up, for weddings anymore. Probably because marriage doesn't mean everything it is supposed to in our culture.

My point is, wearing a kilt is dressing up, and showing honor for the newlyweds, and for the wedding, the families, the Church, and for marriage itself.

I think it is so much better and noble than "a nice suit" or "shirt and tie" which is an oft transgressed rule today. Now, I'm really not too prudish, but I think more formal is better today. Just my thoughts.

Whew. Sorry about that.
