					Remember the first rule of attending someone else's wedding---do not steal ANY attention from the Bride, it is her day, and the groom's for that matter.  So if you are going kilted try to stay low key in your activity and visibility so as not to distract other guests away from their attention to the lovely couple, especially if it is NOT an otherwise kilted wedding.
