Hello all. I discovered this site through a series of meanderings via www.myspace.com. Well, here I am. I recently purchased a kilt (after years of longing for the family tartan!) I'm Scotch/ Irish mostly (with a touch of this and that I'm sure. And the tartan in my avi and the kilt in my profile picture are both the Henderson Ancient. I purchased my kilt with intent to wear for my wedding in July. But now, I want to wear it all the time! I've been informed by the soon-to-be Mrs. that I'm not to wear it until the wedding. After that I can do what I wish with it. HA! Well, just thought I'd introduce myself.

Go for it Tattoobradley!
Of course you have been wearing the kilt all along anyway, right? So I might guess that the wedding or the bride is on hold?

Not really. Congrats friend, hope you make happiness an every day joyous voyage!
I'm new to XMARKX too!

Welcome!

Of course, you could argue that you need LOTS of practice wearing the kilt so you'll be really confident wearing it at your wedding . . . :rolleyes:

Congrats on the upcoming kilted nuptials and welcome from West Texas.

Welcome from the hills of Carolina! Maybe your bride-to-be just wants your kilt to be a surprise to some family members…

Welcome, from a kilted neighbor in Arizona (which was once part of the New Mexico territory). Of course, with the tsunami of illegals, we're rapidly becoming the "new" Mexico...

Anyway, I know the temptation is great to "do it" now, but you'll be glad you saved it for your marriage!

I'm talking about the kilt, of course!

Welcome from the Canyonlands of Arizona.

I have an idea if you've an interest.

Kathy Lare, a kiltmaker over in Albuquerque, is one of the few - or maybe the only - U.S. Kiltmaker trained at the Keith School in Scotland. She has years of experience.

Maybe, if your lady met her, or saw her work, she'd appreciate and "allow" a fine handsewn tank in an appropriate tartan (Kathy can order any tartan) at your wedding. Kilts are all the rage for weddings now.

Kathy's website is www.kathyskilts.com and she's one nice lady.
