Wedding in Germany

[sharpdressedscot]

Links with Scotland and Germany? How's that? I'm interested, do you mean by your family heritage or an actual genetic connection?

I say go wear it, no one is stopping you from wearing it.

Drop Xmarks member A_Hay! a PM with your question, as he is a kilt-wearer in Germany. I'm sure he'll be glad to give you his insights.

I've never had a problem wearing a kilt over here out among the Germans.
It often leads to very interesting conversations.

Still, as others have pointed out, it is the Bride's Day, and her wishes should be respected IMHO.

I have a kilt that Rocky at USA Kilts designed that he calls German Heritage. It incoporates the gold, black, and red of the German Flag. I think there is a picture on his Gallery. I really like the colors.

On 2, 3 and 4 May there will be Highland Games in Peine, Germany, just south of Hannover. I'm planning on being there. Hope some other X-Markers can make it.

I’m a Dane, not a German and I have never been wearing a kilt to a wedding.
However, were I English, and had I just the slightest drop of Scottish blood, I – with my knowledge of Germans - think that it should be fully acceptable to show up in a kilt and the appropriate accessories meeting the standard of the other participants, those being more conventionally dressed.
But, of course, you should as the first thing obtain the understanding and approval of the bride and groom.

BTW Kaiser Willhelm (WWI) was either a grandson or greatgrandson of Queen Victoria. Prince Albert was also from Germany.
