Kilted Wedding Guest.

About a week or two ago. I got to attended a good friend of mine's wedding. Luckily, I got her (being the Bride) permission to come kilted. I had a great time and got a lot of positive comments. Here are a few pictures.

Right, proper, elegant. Good on you.

Thought which arose thereon; many social events are so "vanilla," they fade because of their sameness. However, "You remember, Jane's wedding, where her friend wore that kilt and jacket...." Perhaps a reason for the host or hostess to welcome you kilted?

Nice looking outfit. I will bet many nice comments were made. Well done.

Looking good pabackwoodsman. Cheers to you and your partner.

looking great! Who is the lovely lady?

random question: Is a kilt too long for a man if it ends just below the knee cap?

In short, Yes

This is a highly debated topic. I, for one, like mine to fall to the top of the knee.

The angle on the OPs picture makes it appear to be lower than i susupect it really is.

Again, looking great!

In fact, if it's more than a grunt below the top of the knee cap, it's too long.

and, pabackwoodsman, you look sharp, especially with the lovely, unnamed lady.

Possibly, or the kilt may be the right length, but he is wearing it too low on his torso. Convention has the proper length as high as a little above the knee to no longer than mid knee.

First, I want to tell the OP- you look great! I have been the only kilted guest at a few weddings (one where I was not only the only kilted guy, but t I was the only attendee who's ancestors were not African!) and I have always been a big hit at best, and a non-issue at worst.

Second- technically, yes. However, if you wear your kilt full time, as I do, then there are matters of practicality. Bare knees can get a little cold in the dead of a Rocky Mountain winter. So you don't like my kilt at the bottom of my knee caps? Well I don't like frostbite! I win.
