    Hello

    Hello from Minnesota. Where it is currently really cold. But not that cold only -11f. First time poster long time reader. But got to say this site is great. Now if I can get my future wife to let me wear a kilt to our wedding life would be great. Any ideas?

    Second...As far as advice goes, all I can suggest are wide open lines of communication.

    Welcome aboard!

    Maybe just express that it's an important part of the wedding to you, as it's part of a representation of you heritage. Beyond that, I'll have to defer to those who have been in that situation.

    Welcome from your frozen neighbors in Flint, Michigan!! I have a good friend who lives in Sleepy Eye, Minnesota (she is originally from Sleepy Eye, moved to Flint and lived here for a L O N G time, then moved back to Sleepy Eye about a year ago).

    Show your soon-to-be wife all of the photos that show how beautiful a kilted wedding looks...they will impress her, I bet!

    Welcome from the middle of North Carolina.

    Attend places where she could see men in kilts? Like a Highland Games?

    Greetings and welcome to the forum.

    I agree with pipesndrumsnun. Have your fiance look at the wedding photos posted here on the forum.

    Tell her that just as she wants to choose what to wear then so do you!
