Not a funny request!!!!

Thanks for the great replies. I am the only one of my friends and family that wears a kilt, and it's nice to know there is a place to vent and talk about being kilted with so many nice people that know exactly what I am talking about!
Again thank you guy's so much!

Jeez...if ya' can't start a fight at a friend's wedding, whose wedding can ya' start a fight at?

Haha, you got it, John!

But really, you handled it well. I don't think I would've been as polite, which some people on this board would contribute to me being a hot-headed college student!

vary well done....

why didnt you say you "actually, i've had my eye on you for some time now", you look like a bit of a go er...

That was hilarious!
Thanks for the laugh... (& the idea ).

Could top that off with, "you must be carrying pies in your pocket mate, coz theres a fair bit of mince in your walk..."(i don't know if you will get that one)

That's like when people ask me if I am going to wear a kilt for Halloween, and I simply reply that it is not a costume but a reflection of my proud ancestry.

People wear pants as a costume....

I was kilted at a gig this past weekend. It was an Oktoberfest kind of thing with three bands all playing 2 sets. So we were there for several hours... Anyway I was NOT the only kilted man there--there was a guy with a badly broken in a UK (good choice I said to him as it was perfect for his condition). Anyway, I was the only kilted man wandering around with two good legs

During one of my visits to the Port-A-Potties there was a line. So I sauntered on just ahead of this big guy (bigger than me and I'm biggger than average) in a florescent green bike shirt. You know, zipped up safety green see-ya-for-a-mile kinda thingy. He looks at me, looks a my kilt (Ireland's Natl Stillwater standard!)... His look was obviously "slanted." So I said to him, "Dude, that's a VERY green shirt!!" LOL! Threw him right off balance. Then a Pottie opens up and he starts to go for it like he's going to take advantage of the guy in a "skirt." "Easy there Hoss!" I said to him in my best don't make a mistake you might regret voice, "That one's mine..." And I went in and did my business....

Wearing a kilt in a predominately bifurcated crowd is going to get some "attention." It just is.

Personally, I think you could have played along--if you have that kind of sense of humor of course. I realize it's hard to gauge when one is the only kilted person in the crowd....

For me. it's all fun. 'Cause I don't really give a rat's **** what other people think about what I'm wearing. Bravehearts come to mind.

You were smart to bite your toung & let it ride. It WAS a wedding. You did good.

o.k., I was wondering if this has happened to anyone else? I was at a wedding of a friend of mine that I work with last saturday, the groom and his family were Irish, and I was the only one kilted,not a big deal(I work with the bride whom knew I was going kilted).
I recived nothing but good coments about how I looked Good, was the man, etc., etc. and that was good since it was well recived by everyone.....almost. After a couple of hours, and quite a number of alcholic drinks by everyone there, I was confronted by the brides uncle who, and i quote, "would you be interested in helping out with a prank?" Now I am a well spirited person who loves to muck with people from time to time. So I said "That depends on what it entails.", And his reply was this, " My brother is and always has been a ladies man, and he was talking about trying to pick up some chicks at this wedding, and I told himto be careful because I think that the guy in the SKIRThas his eye on you, so I am wondering if you would ask him to dance with you??"
WOW!!! My first thought was you a-hole!!! Who do you think you are......... But not wanting to start a fight at a friends wedding I simply replied," I would have if you would have called it a KILT, and not a skirt. To which he appoligized that he was sorry and he had been drinking,blah, blah, blah....
I mean come on man, has this ever happened to anyone else???

That's just not cool at all. You probably handled it the best way and just let it go. I might have lost my cool.
