From another location on the forum - I thought I'd better post this is an appropriate place...

Just returned from a Scottish Wedding...

Actually the 'wedding' was an awful eclectic mess of pagan/wicca make-it-up-yourself stuff and a few legit traditions, all by a hire-a-minister off the net, who took care that "God" was never mentioned either by name or implicitly anywhere...all this in a "chapel" to give it a good religious feel...Someone did mention God at the wedding. My mother-in-law, at the end of it all said "Oh my God!" Sorry, I digress.

We showed up at the chapel, my wife of 21 years unbelievably beautiful in her black velvet dress with Robertson Red plaid pinned to her shoulder, and me and the boys in our kilt tuxes.

No one knew we were coming kilted until we arrived - including my father-in-law (we were at their house) who was very happy to see us that way.

My boys wore them to church this morning too! What a sight in an Orthodox Church!

And they are still in them right now. Even planning to wear them tomorrow for Labor day; hey, it's Kilt day, y'know!

They go back shortly, and we'll miss them. My thanks to Scotland Yard for their excellent service! I highly recommend it to anyone who needs a rental in the upper Midwest.

As I said earlier, I guess I know what everyone wants for Christmas this year.
