    Our ceremony was held at St. Mary's Cathedral here in Calgary and officiated by deacon Paul Murphy. I'll try looking for a good one of the ceremony, I was focusing on more of the "kilt aspect" of the day with the pictures I showed.

    Like Matt mentioned, I don't think anyone would realize you were wearing a kilt if so chose to. Back when I was kid (I can't remember how old I was) the bishop (I believe) came to my home town of Wetaskiwin (here in Alberta) and presided over mass that weekend. Our local priest, Fr. MacInnis -maybe it was just Mc- wore a stole in his tartan. I to this day think it was a great idea.


    I only wear my kilt at special events, I only have the one and I'm not willing to risk it being damaged in everyday wear. I definitely wouldn't wear it to mass. Like Matt said, in the article he linked to above, it would distracting and I think it would be especially so with a tartan like the Grant; bright red! I have considered wearing it to Christmas Eve mass since the colours are well... Christmas-y

    R.L.

    In the first picture I barely noticed your finery, it paled when compared to your wife's dazzling smile. You both look very happy together! You and your groomsmen looked quite smart. Thank you for sharing your pictures from this very special day with us.
