Thanks for the tips and congrats.

My main problem is that I live in Scotland and the wedding is in the Chicago area - where I have visited once - so hiring a kilt here would involve a three/four week rental (I don't even know how much that would cost). I was just hoping once of the guys from Illinois might have come across a hire shop as the only way I'd find one would be over the net and who knows what you might get then. Also add in that I need a pretty large size it all seems very complicated.
