    I don't know, if you look at the picture I posted in the pics section of my daughter's wedding, I think even with all the kilts it was impossible to outshine my baby girl.
    If they outlaw guns, can we go back to using swords?

    Don't you think maybe you're a bit biased? I happen to agree, but you know how insecure some women can be.

    But I'm probably like a lot of guys and weddings - "Let's get this thing over and get started on the reception."

    See if you can wear your kilt to the reception and do a quick change after the formal part.

    Kilts are what I wear. My friends understand that. So far I havent attended the wedding of anyone who isnt a friend.

    Still, pick your hill to die on, this one probably isnt worth it.

    DD,

    The bride has made a request of you. The day is hers, honor the request.
    A friendship is more important than a kilt. Though it is a shame because you are quite dapper in your full formal rig. I'm sure you pull off a suit or tux with equal flair.

    Cheers

    Davedove, I fear Robin is right. However, go on trying to persuade her, and don't feel too upset if she does'nt change her mind. I think wearing the kilt only after the ceremony could be a good idea and she will probably consent.
    Good luck!

    Ah, women... :confused:

    I would strongly disagree with you. After all, if the wedding was just about the bride, there would be no point in having a groom, would there?

    If Dave agrees to his bride's wishes, that's fine. But if wearing a kilt at his own wedding is important to him, I think it is fair to ask that she give some ground towards a compromise. If she is entirely unwilling to bend... frankly, I don't think that is a good sign regarding their future life together.
