So, maybe that's not a common situation, but in all seriousness, where do the scales tip? When one owns as many kilts as trousers? Three last good pair of slacks? One?

Why cannot men make up their own mind about what they might wear?

Rex,

I agree with your viewpoint. As one who has defended our constitution and the rights outlined in it, I believe one should have the right to choose what they wear to a function. However, that being said, I believe that in the case of a wedding, one should ask the bride how she feels about a kilt at her wedding (it is after all her day.) For the record, the only bride who has asked I not wear a kilt was my soon to be daughter-in-law, and her reason was to have everyone look similar in the photos. I will be kilted at the reception.

For what it's worth, my wife disagrees with having to ask the bride what a guest can wear to the wedding. Her feeling is, if it is appropriate wear for the event then why not a kilt (of course she obviously has a leaning toward men in kilts.) I'm sure you can guess what she thinks about our soon to be daughter-in-law's opinion on kilts.
