Alan, I think you handled in the best way you could. The wedding party thought the kilt was great and that's enough. I'm sure anyone else that saw the goings on say the complete fool she was making of herself. My daughter's wedding is coming up and she was unsure of letting her intended have kilts because of how her future mother-in-law would react (she likes the kilts, but in her pea brain, they're "costumes" for ren faires and thinks that's the way it is no matter how often we explain, no its an ethnic thing, not costume). When she told her fiance that if his father would wear one on, she would agree, you should have seen future MIL reaction. Especially when future FIL said that would be cool. Now, she'll either grumble and go along or make a complete fool of herself while the rest of both families are dressed to the nines in kilts; me, my sons, the groom, his brother and father and the grooms me and my brother-in-law. We've told my daughter if she wants to show up in ren faire garb and make a fool of herself, let her. She'll embarass herself and maybe finally learn that kilts are clothing, not costumes and we're wearing them as a full formal suit for the day, not a costume. Fortunately for me, USAKilts carries the tartan for my boys and me in a price range that won't hurt (much).

Shultz, what is that gorgeous tartan in your avitar?
