Wedding Wear

[AJWatson]

Hi Everyone,

Thanks for your advice and sorry if my question upset anyone as being ignorant. Like Tobus I am just looking to learn the etiquette and thankful of the advice of experienced members.

I have checked with the brides and my sister and uncle are expecting the PC and the bride for the 3rd one thought it was sweet we checked and would welcome the kilt. I will wear my Argyle jacket and daywear sporran.

Thanks for the interesting debate.

Happy kilting AJ. As always here on XMarksTheScot please don't forget the photos!

I for one sincerely appreciate the advice. I had not considered that wearing the fly plaid would possibly upstage the Bride. You have certainly saved me from a serious social faux pas!

Most Americans are totally oblivious to proper kilt attire. I was oblivious until I found XMTS and started to learn from everyone. Hey, if you have no reference point of proper Scottish dress, than one will do whatever they learn from movies, TV, people around them, etc. That becomes the norm; that's, now, acceptable. It's like a child growing up in a house with violence...that's what they learn. Well, most homes in the USA do not have kilts or any inkling as to what is proper. So, wearing a kilt becomes whatever you want it to be, sorry to say.

As for wearing the PC/kilt at a wedding, well, yes, check with the bride. However, if people expect it, then go for it. I see nothing wrong...life is what you make of it, and if you show up at a wedding in a PC/kilt, well, the world is still gonna spin.
