I have been told to order a new kilt

**usndoc** · 30th January 06, 11:21 AM

I wore my Matt Newsome made MacLeod of Harris kilt to Burns Nicht Saturday. We had a great time, the kilt was very comfortable and looked great. I got a chance to point out a Macgregor tartan kilt to my fiance.

Sunday she calls me from her parents house to tell me that she has finally found her wedding dress. She has been searching off and on now for months with little or no satisfaction in finding one. She even tried out some Hawaiian dresses as she was born in Hawaii.

She asks me which kilt I was planning on wearing to the wedding. I have been planning on wearing a Macgregor but I need to order it. She proceeds to tell me to order the Macgregor kilt for the wedding. She has found a wedding dress that is white with red and black flowers in it.

So, I have been instructed to order another kilt. I guess I better comply :-)

Don't you just hate that? ;) Don't forget to post pics of the two of you from the wedding. And, congrats!!

Six years of marriage have taught me, that what that likely means is that she has found a dress she likes and that it is way more expensive than she had originally thought. You can't be mad at the price of the dress is she has told you to order yourself a nice new kilt for the wedding

Can't look a gift kilt in the pleats though.

Luckily she is a frugal person. She will not spend that much on a dress. She mentioned that it was by B. Moss. My kilt will in all likelyhood cost more than her dress.

But, I wear my kilts. Wedding dresses tend to be 1 shot deals.

For those looking at my photos, the 2 of us can be found here:

Have you ordered yet? Have you ordered yet? Huh, huh?

From your descriptions, sounds like you two will be one sharp couple on your day. :-)

I have not ordered yet. I had to make a payment on the land where we are going to build a house, truck payment, and cell phone. So it will have to wait at least a week :-)

I may go ahead and ask, and pay, Matt to order the material so that we can eliminate that delay.

Congratulations on your upcoming wedding! Plus you are marrying a girl who tells you to buy new kilts! It sounds like you are landing in paradise.
That Macgregor should look really sharp with the red and black flowers of her wedding dress.

An exciting and stressful and fun and terrifying and happy and anxious and romantic and dizzying time ahead for you both. It will all soon become a blurr and you may find yourself prone to forgetting things as the big day approaches. So start now and make a list.... with the new kilt at the top, of course.

I got home last night from my bachelor diving trip to Florida. Sitting on my chair was a Fed-Ex box. Even at 2 AM I was awake enough to open the box and pull out another thing of beauty from the hands of Matt Newsome. I tried it on and it fits great and as usual is very well made. This is my second MN original and my 5th kilt so far.

I have 33 days to go until the wedding. I have to finish the skunk fur sporan and belt to complete my wedding outfit.

The trip to Florida was to dive the USS Oriskany. I took my UK to wear between dives but it never left my bag. We were in the water as much as possible so I never bothered to get it out.

Thank much for the well wishes. Hopefully the rest of the wedding plans go as well.
