Maybe I'm a bit too much of a hard a$$ but if MY fiance told me flat-out that she didn't want me wearing the kilt, that's a warning sign of much bigger control-issues down the road. Besides, if your significant other knows you wear the kilt anyway while you're dating/courting, then it shouldn't be an issue on your wedding day, regardless of whether or not you're kilted for the actual ceremony. I'm sure your brother's wife is a great person, so I'm not meaning to pass judgment overall, but in the case of the kilt I find the prejudice against it to be absurd. My lady rolls her eyes at me sometimes when I want to wear the kilt almost every day, but she doesn't dislike it at all... she's a history teacher and has loved learning more about Scottish history and the history of Highland dress because of my affinity for the kilt. I dunno... I just can't understand why anyone would tolerate being told that they absolutely CANNOT wear something. --soapbox mode OFF--
